HSA account holders should not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.

What is considered a high deductible health plan (HDHP)?
Not all high-deductible plans are HSA-eligible. It is the account holder’s responsibility to check with his/her insurer to make sure their plan is eligible. Requirements for the deductible and out of pocket amounts are updated annually. Please visit the US Treasury’s HSA site for specific details.
Can self-employed individuals have an HSA?
Yes. Sole proprietors and the self-employed are often ideal candidates.
What are the HSA contribution rules?
The total amount you or your employer may contribute to an HSA for any taxable year depends on whether you have individual or family coverage under a high deductible health plan. Contribution limits change each year. Please contact us to receive the current contribution limits.
Are there any fees associated with an HSA?
Yes, an annual fee of $25.00 applies.
