I’m a journalist writing a MoneyLion article about tax moves taxpayers may still be able to make before filing their 2026 federal return. I’m seeking U.S.-based certified public accountants, enrolled agents and tax professionals. I’m looking for guidance on options that may still be available after the tax year ends, along with deadlines and eligibility rules readers should verify. 1. Which actions, if any, can taxpayers take after Dec. 31, 2026, that may reduce their 2026 tax bill? 2. What should taxpayers know about making an eligible contribution to a traditional IRA before the filing deadline? 3. Can contributions to a health savings account affect a 2026 tax return, and who may qualify? 4. Are there other deductions, credits or tax benefits taxpayers should check before filing? 5. How do income, workplace retirement coverage or other eligibility rules affect these options? 6. What records should taxpayers gather to support a deduction or credit? 7. Which actions must be completed by the end of 2026, and which may have a later deadline? 8. What should readers avoid assuming when looking for last-minute tax savings, and do you have anything more to add?
