2023 Health Savings Account Limits

Written by Zinner & Co. Tax Team | Nov 8, 2022 5:29:00 PM

The Internal Revenue Service announced in late April Health Savings Accounts (HSA) limit for 2023.

Now, with taxpayers in the midst of open enrollment, the high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) will make an impact for tax planning purposes.

The annual inflation-adjusted limit on HSA contributions for self-only coverage will be $3,850, up from $3,650 in 2022. The HSA contribution limit for family coverage will be $7,750, up from $7,300.

These changes represent about a 5.5 percent increase over 2022 contribution limits.

The tax implications of the new limits relate to any amount that an employee defers to their HSA, is a reduction in taxable wages or income.  Therefore, they are getting the advantage of paying for qualified medical expenses using pre-tax dollars.

Please refer to the chart below for contribution and out-of-pocket limits for HSAs and HDHPs.
