What are ways people can reduce their tax bill?

Taxpayers can reduce their tax bill by maximizing contributions to their 401k or other retirement funds before the April 15 deadline, which provides pre-tax benefits for the 2024 tax season. This is a key opportunity that's still available. Additionally, given potential IRS staffing changes mentioned by Trump, including cutting staff or reassigning agents to border duties, it's advisable to file taxes as early as possible. Filing promptly ensures taxpayers receive assistance before any potential reduction in IRS services occurs.
