2013 HSA Limits  


 
The Annual Contribution Limit for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) is set every year by the IRS.  The Internal Revenue Service announced at the end of last year, the 2013 HSA Limits for annual contributions made to a health savings account (HSA).

 

Annual HSA Contributions are tax deductible and can be made either by an individual or by that individual's employer. Distributions for qualified medical expenses are not included in individual taxable income, and the earnings of HSA funds are not taxed.
