Looking ahead at 2021...
Finally, a very important piece of info to keep in mind, especially for HSA users nearing retirement: catch-up contributions! HSA account holders age 55+ can contribute an additional $1,000 on top of the maximum as a catch-up contribution to bolster their savings as they approach retirement age.
This is great news for HSA users and one that will help them save even more on expected medical expenses in the near future.
