US Edition4 Strategies for an Organized Tax Season
Morningstar highlights four strategies including maximizing deductions and timely IRA/HSA contributions; seniors get a $6,000 deduction, and SALT cap rises to $40,000 for 2025 filings.
- This filing season Morningstar published a four-part guide advising U.S. taxpayers to use a tax checklist, decide on itemizing, gather W‑2s and 1099s, and make IRA and HSA contributions by the tax‑filing deadline.
- Policy shifts last year increased SALT limits to $40K, with phaseouts for MAGI over $500K and seniors over $75K MAGI, affecting deductions.
- Using a tax checklist or organizer helps gather key documents and identify if deductions surpass the standard deduction for 2025 and to review W‑2s and 1099s for capital gains or asset location opportunities.
- Make IRA or HSA contributions before you file to secure the deduction, ensuring you meet earned income and HDHP coverage rules and consider an automatic investment program to avoid delays.
- Longer-Term, asset location and timely contributions can boost after-tax returns by flagging capital gains and meeting 2026 IRA monthly amounts of $625 for under 50 or $716 for over 50.
