The 2017 health savings account (HSA) guidelines were recently released by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). These guidelines outline the inflation-adjusted contribution, deductible, and out-of-pocket spending limits for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) for calendar year 2017.
Except for the annual contribution limit for self-only coverage, which increased from $3,350 in 2016 to $3,400 in 2017, all other deductible, out-of-pocket and annual contribution limits remain unchanged in 2017.
These limits are updated annually and reflect cost-of-living adjustments.
