Tips and tricks to maximize my refund (Missouri job and resident)

[Swanky_Sable]

Wanted to see if anyone could offer specific tax advice for me, I'd like to maximize my refund. I'm open to new ideas.

1. Lives in Missouri, duplex, single, no dependents
2. Works in Missouri, 1 job full time, 70K+ Tax bracket
3. No Crypto or digital assets.
4. Only big $$$ asset I own is my truck, which is paid off.
5. Debt free

Wondering if maybe there are some new avenues I could go down too to save even more than I did recently ($300 from federal and $150 from state)

It is too late to make any retirement account contributions for tax year 2023 (deadline was 04/15).   Amend your tax return if you forgot to claim any energy credits (or any other credit) you qualified for in 2023, but did not deduct.   Other information that may be helpful for next year too:
