What Does Tax Savings Mean?
By definition, tax savings refers to paying a reduced amount of taxes. Here are three potential ways to trim down your taxes, including:
- Reduce your income. The number one factor in formulating your taxes is your adjusted gross income (AGI). The lower your total income, the lower your AGI. And the lower your AGI, the less taxes you will pay come tax time. Taking certain actions, like contributing to a 401(k), traditional IRA, student loan interest paid and out-of-pocket classroom expenses, can help reduce your AGI – and in turn, the amount of taxes owed.
- Increase your tax deductions. Most people can take advantage of the standard deduction. Some people, however, have the benefit of itemizing their deductions. Itemized expenses may include healthcare payments, state and local taxes, personal property taxes, gifts to charity, job-related expenses and mortgage interest fees.
- Tap into available tax credits. For greater tax savings, take advantage of tax credits, which you may qualify for if you incur certain college expenses, adopt a child or earn less than a specified amount.
