We challenge the idea that lower is always better for taxes and show how “use it or lose it” deductions and credits vanish when income is either too high or too low. We map the sweet spots that unlock SALT, QBI, and child credits, and share moves to land there on purpose.

• standard vs itemized deductions and why timing matters
• SALT cap expansion and the $500k–$600k AGI phaseout
• AGI-reducing vs taxable-income-reducing strategies
• QBI rules, SSTB phaseouts, and the ~$395k MFJ target
• stacking SALT and QBI for outsized savings
• when adding income beats cutting it, including Roth conversions
• child tax credit thresholds and why MAGI control matters
• state nonconformity to bonus depreciation and planning implications
• practical levers: retirement deferrals, cost seg, oil and gas, expense timing
