There are not many ways to lower your Adjusted Gross Income besides the things you already listed, such as an HSA contribution, and contributing to a 401(k) since an IRA is not beneficial to you as a deduction.
If your itemized deductions are close to the standard deduction, you can double-up payments you can claim on Schedule A , such as making twice the charitable contributions in one year and none in the next, making last year's December mortgage payment in January and January next year in December.
After that, your tax reduced by credits.
