Tax Tip No. 2: Fund Other Tax-Sheltered Accounts: You can put money into your Health Savings Account (HSA). HSA contributions are tax deductible up to $3,050 for individuals and up to $6,150 for families.
The Coverdell Education Savings Account is better known by its older name, the Education IRA. You can put up to $2,000 into your Coverdell for 2010 by April 18.
You don’t get a deduction on the contribution, but the money is tax-sheltered and withdrawals are tax-free so long as it goes to qualified education expenses.
