The amount you or anyone else can contribute to your HSA depends on the type of high-deductible health plan (HDHP) you have, your age, the date you become an eligible individual, and the date you cease to be an eligible individual are also considered.
The money in your HSA account can also be invested in stocks and bonds and the investment gains you earn are not taxed as long as you use them for qualified medical expenses. There are limits to how much you can contribute each year. This year, the maximum contribution amount is $3,400 for individuals and $6,750 for families. If you are 55 or older you can contribute $1,000 extra each year.
