This article organizes the original guidance on now’s the time to start thinking about bunching miscellaneous itemized deductions into clear sections for easier reading and reference.
This opening section presents the main context from the original post.
Many expenses that may qualify as miscellaneous itemized deductions are deductible only to the extent they exceed, in aggregate, 2% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). Bunching these expenses into a single year may allow you to exceed this “floor.” So now is a good time to add up your potential deductions to date to see if bunching is a smart strategy for you this year.
This section keeps the original guidance focused on should you bunch into 2016?.
If your miscellaneous itemized deductions are getting close to—or they already exceed—the 2% floor, consider incurring and paying additional expenses by December 31, such as:
This section keeps the original guidance focused on but beware….
These expenses are not deductible for alternative minimum tax (AMT) purposes. So don’t bunch them into 2016 if you might be subject to the AMT this year.
Also, if your AGI exceeds the applicable threshold, certain deductions—including miscellaneous itemized deductions—are reduced by 3% of the AGI amount that exceeds the threshold (not to exceed 80% of otherwise allowable deductions). For 2016, the thresholds are $259,400 (single), $285,350 (head of household), $311,300 (married filing jointly) and $155,650 (married filing separately).
