Title: HSA Family Contribution Limit Lowered 2018
Post by: nobody123 on March 16, 2018, 08:35:46 AM
So did anyone else have the pleasure of explaining to their HR department that they needed to adjust witholdings for your HSA?  In case you hadn't heard, an unintended consequence of the new tax law changes reduced the family contribution limit by $50 to $6850.  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb18-10.pdf

There's a good thread going on about this, including some proposed solutions if you over-contribute, at https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=243621

Great! I over contributed.
On my way to Bogleheads to find my way out of this fine prediciment.

EDIT,
Can't get into my Boglehead account and I have no idea why, I get this message.
"Your account has been manually deactivated and is only able to be reactivated by an administrator."
But as far as I can tell, I have to get in to message an administrator.

I contacted my HSA holder and they walked me through removing the $50 excess contribution.
 It was easy and they didn't charge me.
