One of the biggest changes the new tax law brings is a near doubling of the standard deduction, which means fewer people will likely have to itemize. Here are some tax breaks that everyone should consider (if they apply to you):

• Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
• Health Savings Account (HSA) in conjunction with a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
• Self Employment
• Alimony
• Educational Costs
• Business Expenses
• Early Withdrawal Expenses
• Moving Expenses (when you change jobs — if you’re a service member)
