I am married filing jointly; spouse and I are both over 55. For 2024, spouse and I were both covered by my family HDHP from 1/1 to 6/30. (I am self-employed and am the subscriber on this plan.) I have an HSA, but spouse did not from 1/1 to 6/30. Then, spouse got a job and, effective 7/1, we are now both covered under an HDHP available through spouse’s employment. Spouse also got an HSA through employer as of 7/1. We canceled my original HDHP effective 6/30, but I still have my separate HSA. Assuming we continue to be covered on spouse’s HDHP for the rest of the year, and ignoring the last-month rule, can we each make $1000 in catch-up contributions to our own HSAs for 2024? My understanding is that we would both have been “eligible individuals” for the entire year, even though we were covered by two different HDHPs for the first, then second, halves of the year, but my spouse didn’t open an HSA until 7/1.
