Determine Your Adjusted Gross Income. 

Managing your tax liabilities starts with identifying all the sources of your income. You then calculate the gross sum of that income in any given year. You will be able to reduce that gross sum if you are eligible to claim tax deductions and/or tax credits. If you are eligible to make those claims, you re-calculate that gross amount to arrive at your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).

Tax Credits.

Similarly, you can claim tax credits for the expenses that you incur in paying your child’s college tuition, adopting a child, making Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) payments, paying taxes on foreign earnings, and purchasing a qualified electric or alternative-fuel vehicle.

Perform deduction analysis 

You might be able to reduce your tax liabilities by taking such deductions as mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and state income taxes. If these deductions meet the required threshold, you will be able to itemize them on your income tax returns. Alternatively, you might opt to take the IRS’s standard deduction if doing so would be a more advantageous choice from a tax-saving perspective.
