📅 Today is tax day! Hopefully you're finished with this year's filings -- but as you look ahead to next year, these simple tips will help you prepare for (and possibly even reduce!) your 2024 taxes. 1️⃣ Boost retirement savings: Lower your taxable income by increasing contributions to your 401(k) or IRA (up to the IRS maximum). It’s great for your future and may help to reduce your current tax bill. 2️⃣ Check your withholdings: Make sure you're not underpaying or overpaying taxes by using the IRS tax withholding estimator. Adjust your W-4 with your employer as needed. 3️⃣ Consider a health savings account (HSA): If you're eligible for an HSA, use it to cover medical expenses while also reducing your taxable income. Unused funds roll over, so it’s a great investment in your health and finances! 4️⃣ Document deductible expenses: Keep detailed records of potential deductions like charitable donations and home office expenses. Staying organized can be a big help at tax time. For more financial insights and tools, visit us at mycentral.bank #taxday #taxes #mycentralbank
