Please look at this Schedule 1. Lines 23-35 reduce AGI. You won't be able to reduce your AGI by 20K, unfortunately. However, see if the IRA contributions will help a little (if you qualify to make a contribution).

Thanks!.
If I make charity donation before April 15th, 2019, Can I deduct that on my 2018 Tax Return? Or only charity doantions made in 2018 can be deducted on 2018 Tax Return?
No, unfortunately, charitable contributions will not lower your AGI. First, because the charitable contributions lower taxable income and have nothing to do with the AGI. If you look at the Schedule 1 link I sent you, they are not listed there. And only items listed on lines 23-35 will lower your AGI. Secondly, the contributions must be made in 2018 in order to reduce your taxable income for the 2018 tax year, on the 2018 tax return.
