IRS Provides 2022 Amounts for HSAs and HRAs

IRS Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc.) 2021-25 provides the 2022 inflation-adjusted amounts for health savings accounts (HSAs) and the maximum amount that may be made newly available for expected benefit health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs).

The HSA 2022 calendar year annual limitation on deductions under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sec. 223(b)(2) is $3,650 for an individual with self-only coverage under a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and $7,300 for an individual with family coverage under an HDHP.

In calendar year 2022, under IRC Sec. 223(c)(2)(A), an HDHP is a health plan with an annual deductible that is not less than $1,400 for self-only coverage or $2,800 for family coverage. The annual out-of-pocket expenses—deductibles, co-payments, and other amounts (but not premiums)—cannot exceed $7,050 for self-only coverage or $14,100 for family coverage.

Under Pension Excise Tax Regulation Sec. 54.9831-1(c)(3)(vii), the maximum amount that may be made newly available for the plan year for an excepted benefit HRA is $1,800 for plan years beginning in 2022.
