Before you prepare your taxes, consider what you can deduct for 2009 -- even though it's already 2010. While expenses you deduct for job hunting need to have been spent in 2009, there are a couple other things you can do right now to reduce your tax liability. One is making a donation to the Haiti relief effort, and another is opening a traditional IRA. You can discuss your options with a tax professional to determine whether these items can help you remain in a lower tax bracket, or just reduce your tax liability by a reasonable amount.
