I don’t think the state treasuries would be that well organized.
Other things…
* Donate all the crap you don’t want and take the writeoff. Make sure you get all the documents that prove your donations and don’t go overboard or taxman will call you.
* If you have parents/relatives from overseas that stay with you for an extended period of time, claim them as dependents (read the Fed rules on this…Perfectly legal if you meet the time test).
* Did you have an job related expenses you had to cough up yourself (books, training material for your job etc, dues,etc)?
* More variables if you start a business, but it also raises your risk of audit.
