You can pay for necessary medical expenses while cutting your taxable income by making contributions to these accounts.

You can restructure your portfolio and minimize taxes on investment profits by using this tax-loss harvesting approach.

This can be an effective strategy, especially if you are concerned that you'll be in a higher tax bracket when you retire or expect rates might go up in the future.
