New IRS Guidance on HSAs and Adoption Assistance

In March 2018 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published two important notices regarding Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), adoption assistance, and HSA-qualified High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs):

  • Revenue Procedure 2018-18 published an updated lower HSA contribution limit for family coverage in 2018 and lower adoption expense limits, to reflect changes made in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
  • Notice 2018-123 announced that a health plan that covers male contraceptives or male sterilization before the deductible is met cannot be an HSA-qualified HDHP, but provided transition relief before 2020.
