Deductions & credits

No, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are individual accounts. 

Based on your description, I am assuming that you are both covered by your High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) provided through your work.  If you are both covered under the same plan, it is considered a “family” plan.  Even with a family plan, the HSA associated with that plan would only be in your name, not a joint account.  That means that you are the only one who has an HSA.  This is true even though your spouse has a card to use and can spend the funds in the account. 

In order for your spouse to have her own HSA, she would need to be covered on a separate HDHP through her work or another source.
