if you are over 55 additonal $1000 must go into your HSA

if spouse is over 55 additional $1000 must go into her HSA

if you have overcontributed your options are

1) withdraw the excess + earnings - contact the administrator. since your wages on line1 of your w-2 will be reduced by your contributions, the amount withdrawn which may include employer matching contribution (employer contributions were tax-free when made but if you take them out for non-qualified medical purposes they're e taxable ) + earnings are taxable  or

2) spend the entire amount in the HSA on qualified  medical expenses since the penalty can not exceed 6% of the year-end fair market value of the account or

3) pay the 6% penalty. the penalty will apply each year there is a remaining over-contribution

 

 

the maximum for the health care FSA is determined by your employer but subject to limitations under the tax laws.
