Which Donations May You Still Send On Your Return This Tax Season?
You have until April 18 to contribute the maximum amount to an IRA or savings on health account (HSA) and claim the discount on your last year’s tax season return if you haven’t already done so. Please be sure to specify that the deposit is for the 2022 tax year. Several states still permit donations to educational savings plans to be discounted as well. A dozen states also permit you to make contributions through April and deduct them from your state tax bill for 2022 if you’re saving money for your child’s education in a 529 plan. According to the research education, calculators, and resources website Saving for College, the following states are:
- Georgia
- Mississippi
- Iowa
