We currently have an HSA-eligible HDHP. I want to maximize our HSA contribution this year.
DH is eligible for Medicare September 1. I am eligible October 1.
I think the HSA contribution math is:
8/12* $7100 = $4733 for the months we are both covered by the family plan
+ 1/12* $3550 = $295.83 for the month of September when I am covered by an individual (not family) HDHP and DH is on Medicare
+ $1000 catch-up contribution for me (does not seem to be pro-rated)
+ $1000 catch-up contribution for DH.
= 7028.83 total
Is that the right way to calculate it?
I assume (and you know where that gets me) that at least $1000 needs to be put in DH's HSA and the rest can be put in my HSA.
I'm happy that Medicare will start soon, but geez is there a lot to think through.
