2. You Contributed More to Retirement Accounts

If you made more significant contributions to retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA, your taxable income for the year will decrease. The government incentivizes retirement savings by offering tax breaks on your contributions to these accounts. For example, putting money into a tax-deferred account means you pay less in taxes for that year and potentially receive a bigger 2025 Tax refund.
What to Do: If you have the financial flexibility, try to max out your contributions to retirement accounts in 2025. The more you contribute, the more you can reduce your taxable income.
Action Needed: Check the contribution limits for your retirement accounts. And see if you can maximize your contributions before the end of the year to maximize your tax savings.
