5 Tax Deductions Most People Miss on Their 2025 Tax Return

Stop Leaving Money on the Table

Tax season is here. Here are five commonly overlooked deductions.

1. Home Office ($1,500 Easy)

Self-employed? Deduct $5/sq ft up to 300 sq ft. That’s $1,500 with zero receipts.

2. Student Loan Interest ($2,500)

Deduct up to $2,500 even with the standard deduction. It’s an above-the-line deduction.

3. State Sales Tax

No income tax in your state (TX, FL, WA)? Deduct sales taxes instead. Especially valuable after big purchases.

4. Clothing Donations

Those Goodwill bags are worth $50-150 each if you itemize. Document with photos.

5. HSA Contributions

Triple tax-advantaged: deductible going in, tax-free growth, tax-free for medical. 2025 limit: $4,150 individual, $8,300 family.
