It's the end of the year, so there's many things that you can do to lower your tax contributions for 2016.
Here's one that i just did recently that didn't take too much of my time as I cruised in the Californian sunny warm winter on my way to the public library. Step 1. If you have old college textbooks, books, or clothes that you no longer wear or use and would like to decluter as well, here's a win-win situation. Step 2. Just find any library or local goodwill store. Step 3. Drive over and drop off the goods at the library or charity. Books, clothing, and other goods only need an appraisal if you claim a deduction over $500. If you don't want to deal with the hassle with an appraisal and other record keeping, just donate stuff $500 or less. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with the hassle of attaching Form 8283 with your tax return. You (if you do your own taxes) or your accountant won't be too pleased. You can also deduct 14 cents per mile you drive per charity as of 2016. Just be sure to save your receipts for donations.
