To reduce taxable income in Nevada: 1) Contribute to a traditional 401(k) — up to $23,500 pre-tax in 2026 (saves your marginal federal rate + saves on future state taxes if you move). 2) Contribute to an HSA ($4,300 individual / $8,550 family). 3) If self-employed, deduct business expenses and half of self-employment tax. 4) Consider itemizing if mortgage interest + state taxes + charitable donations exceed $16,100 (single) / $32,200 (MFJ). Each dollar of pre-tax 401(k) saves you your marginal rate in federal taxes.
