The IRS announced relief for employees with family coverage who contribute to a health savings account (HSA), restoring the 2018 family-coverage contribution cap to $6,900. Last March, the IRS lowered the family limit to $6,850 after tax legislation revised the formula for inflation-based adjustments.
