<prompt> Human: Background:Single, no dependents, no exemptions getting taxed the full amount at a 110k salary in Illinois. Im wondering if there is anything I can claim or any tax deductions I can look into?Im no expert with taxes so I apologize for any wrong vocab, or dumb comments. Assistant: If you dont have any dependents, arent disabled, dont have a mortgage, arent paying student loan interest, and dont own your own business there is very little in the way of deductions that you will get.Assuming none of the above, your primary means of lowering your tax burden would be 401k contributions.Human: Thanks for the reply. What about car payments? Or a gas for a long commute to get to my job? in regards to 401k is there are chart or scale that I can refer to to see how much I would need to contribute? And would that include employer match total?  <response>: You can contribute 18K to your 401k. That doesnt count your employer match. At 110K w no mortgage or dependents, you could probably do the full amount.
