Reducing Income

You can reduce the amount of tax you pay by contributing to a 401(k) or similar retirement plan at work or through various adjustments (deductions) to income. Adjustments include contributions to a traditional IRA, student loan interest paid, alimony paid, and classroom related expenses.

Increasing Tax Deductions

A tax professional can help you decide whether to take a standard deduction or to itemize your deductions. The three biggest itemized deductions are mortgage interest, state taxes, and gifts to charity. Other itemized deductions include expenses for health care, personal property taxes, job-related expenses, tax preparation fees, and investment-related expenses. It’s a good idea to keep track of your itemized expenses throughout the year.

Taking Advantage of Tax Credits

The government gives tax credits for college expenses, retirement savings contributions, and for adopting children. Another tax credit is the Earned Income Credit (EIC). You may be eligible to claim the earned income credit if you earn less than a certain amount.

Tax Tip

You can avoid owing money at tax time by increasing your withholding amount. More money will be taken out of your paycheck throughout the year, but you will get bigger refund when you file your taxes.
