Last-Minute Tax Breaks

If you haven’t filed your 2019 federal tax return yet, the Internal Revenue Service offers some reminders that may help reduce your income taxes for the year.


  1. Limits have risen not only for income tax brackets and the standard deduction, but also for tax deductions like the Lifetime Learning Credit.

  2. The maximum credit allowed for adoptions is the amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $14,080, up from $13,810 the previous year.

  3. The Health Flexible Spending Account (FSA) saving limit rose to $2,700.

  4. The Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution limit increased to $7,000 for family coverage and $3,500 for single coverage. Out-of-pocket limits also increased slightly.

  5. If you receive alimony payments according to an agreement that was new or suitably modifi ed in 2019, you won’t owe federal income taxes on the amount.

  6. You may deduct qualified unreimbursed medical expenses that exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income.
