Each year the IRS announces inflation-adjusted dollar amounts for the upcoming calendar years. In Rev. Proc. 2025-19, the IRS recently announced the 2026 annual dollar amounts that apply to the following benefits:
- The limit to amount of contributions an individual can make to health savings accounts (HSAs),
- The minimum deductible for a health plan to be a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), coverage under which is required for the individual to be eligible to contribute to an HSA,
- The maximum out-of-pocket expenses (expenses such as deductibles, copays, and other amounts the individual must pay, not including premiums) that may be charged under an HDHP, and
- The maximum contribution that may be made newly available (i.e., not including amounts that are carried over under the terms of the arrangement) for the year under a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) that only covers specified excepted benefits.
