Tax deductions for High earners
Varies
Can You Write Off Tax deductions for High earners?
Short answer: Key moves: max 401(k) and HSA, backdoor Roth, donor-advised funds (note the 0.5% AGI charity floor and 35% cap on itemized benefit from 2026), and tax-loss harvesting.
The SALT cap shrinks back toward $10,000 above about $505,000 of income.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
