How to Lower Your New York Taxes?
Strategic moves to reduce your NYS and NYC tax burden.
NY 529 Deduction
NYS allows a deduction of up to $5,000 ($10,000 for couples) for contributions to NY 529 college savings plans.
Maximize Pre-Tax
401(k) and 403(b) contributions reduce your federal AGI, which trickles down to lower your NY State tax significantly.
HSA/FSA Benefits
Unlike some states, New York fully recognizes the tax-exempt status of HSA contributions at the state level.
STAR Program
While property-based, the School Tax Relief (STAR) program is a key part of New York's overall tax reduction strategy.
Itemized Options
NYS allows you to itemize state deductions even if you take the standard deduction on your federal return.
Empire State Credit
Check eligibility for the Empire State Child Credit, which can provide a direct reduction of your state tax bill.
Adjust IT-2104
Use our results to update your Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate to match your actual yearly liability.
