Deductions & credits

If you're married and both you and your spouse have separate HSAs, each of you are eligible to make $1,000 catch-up contributions.

Rules for Married People

The rules for married people apply only if both spouses are eligible individuals. If either spouse has family HDHP coverage, the family contribution limit applies; both spouses are treated as having family HDHP coverage.

If both spouses are 55 or older and not enrolled in Medicare:

  • Each spouse is entitled to increase his or her contribution limit with an additional contribution.
  • Their maximum total contributions under family HDHP coverage would include a catch-up contribution for each spouse.
  • The contribution limit is divided between the spouses by agreement. If there is no agreement, the contribution limit is split equally between the spouses.
  • Any additional contribution for age 55 or over must be made by each spouse to his or her own HSA.
