Can I open a FHSA account with my spouse?
No, the FHSA is an individual savings plan only.
However, if you buy your property with your spouse, you can combine both of your FHSA accounts.
Good to know
The lifetime contribution limit of $40,000 applies to everyone. You can therefore maximize the potential of your respective FHSA accounts and use them for the purchase of the same property.
