Set up recurring contributions — Sign in to your account to set up recurring contributions to ensure you're contributing the maximum allowed by the IRS each year.
Make a one-time contribution — If you haven't contributed the maximum allowed by the IRS, you can make a one-time contribution to your account anytime.

Annual contribution limits

There are many qualified medical expenses that your HSA can help you cover. In addition to deductibles and copays, you can use your HSA to pay for dental, vision, chiropractic care, acupuncture and more. You'll also enjoy income tax-free contributions and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. Plus, your money grows income tax-free.

You are responsible for monitoring the amount deposited into your HSA each calendar year. Keep in mind that if your employer contributes funds, those also count toward the maximum contribution limit. If you exceed the limit, the IRS imposes a penalty. Sign in to your account online to download the Excess Contribution and Deposit Correction Request Form to request an excess contribution refund or a correction to a contribution.

Catch-up contribution

Once you turn 55, you can contribute an additional $1,000 each year to your HSA; this is called a catch-up contribution. If you and your spouse are both over age 55, you can each contribute an additional $1,000. Your spouse will just need to open their own HSA for their additional portion. Make a catch up contribution today.

Qualified medical expenses

For a $100 pair of eyeglasses, you could pay the $100 out of pocket or you could pay with your HSA. By paying with your HSA, you could potentially save an average of $30 because of the tax advantages it offers.

Since the money you contribute to your HSA is generally income tax-free, you save 30% on qualified medical expenses that you pay for with your HSA.*

Contribute to your HSA now and sail into retirement

Most retired Americans will need more money to pay for their health care needs than their insurance coverage will provide. Research suggests that a 55-year-old couple retiring in 10 years will need $950,000 in savings just for health care.

As you're planning for the future, your HSA can ease your mind and prepare you for retirement by saving money income tax-free. Keep in mind that you’ll always pay taxes when you withdraw funds from a 401(k). But if you use HSA funds for qualified medical expenses, it’s generally 100% income tax-free.

It's important to max out your HSA now, because once you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to your HSA — but you can still use it. Your HSA comes in handy because there are certain things that traditional Medicare doesn't cover, such as hearing aids, vision and dental, among many other expenses.
