IRS Releases New Information for HSAs and HDHPs for 2016
In early May, the IRS released new information around 2016 eligibility and contribution limits for health savings accounts (HSAs), as well as minimum deductions for HDHPs (high deductible health plans) and caps on out-of-pocket expenses incurred with HDHPs. According to the IRS, an HSA is “a tax-exempt trust or custodial account you set up with a qualified HSA trustee to pay or reimburse certain medical expenses you incur.”
