Looking for ideas/suggestions on how to bring my AGI down into the lower tax bracket. I've got approx $24K between me and the next lower bracket. I've already maxed out the 401K, HSA, made Roth contribution....is there anything else I can do? Non homeowner, and sometimes come close to itemized deduction.
What do I do? Fund a charity/start up my own foundation? Make a large donation? And yes, some of you may be thinking/asking - "why try to dump $24k...just pay the taxes of the higher bracket and keep the money yourself for investing!"
Might be a no brainer for some, but thought I'd throw it out there for comment - which is it - some option you might have to reduce the AGI, or just pay in the higher bracket?.... thanks in advance.
