Here are some tax credits you’ll want to check for.  Haddam Road Founder and Financial Planner, Brian Kearns was recently featured in MarketWatch Picks. In the article, Brian discusses tracking medical and charitable expenses to maximize tax deductions.  Full Article: [MarketWatch](https://www.marketwatch.com/picks/10-accountants-reveal-the-tax-credits-and-deductions-americans-too-often-miss-2586d87e?mod=money) “One thing that taxpayers may not take into account is how a bunch of smaller itemized deductions can, with good record keeping, add up to much more than the standard deduction ($15,000 single, $30,000 joint). For example, if you add up all your qualifying medical expenses, like prescriptions, dental and vision care, medicare premiums, or insurance premiums if you’re self-employed, you can quickly get over the 7.5% of AGI hurdle.   Also, how many bags of old kids clothes do you drop off at Goodwill (they do change size every year)? Those can add up if you cost out each item and get a receipt. Again the key is good record keeping.” #### People may not realize that small deductions can add up. — Brian Kearns, CPA and CFP at Haddam Road Advisors [![Call-CTA](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/45773680/interactive-183733970012.png)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJMZSC6uvQ6ORcGSGLTMqyyEjEnDIGkJE2sHDD3Sw3iKuokou4Mntk4UzTZ4bdnxVNg3GOK25wpk%2BFFhFrORHYRRmVLLiEpVJZG%2F2Pezk97TUU6P4tJQrZI%2BVMA9abmltHbiVfC%2BTzuYIkcn0zRyhR6qTMNTrfmktW633vd1M2f1RvY6OsAdK%2BNSrPOlQ%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=183733970012&portalId=45773680)   - Recent - Topics - Archive Recent Topics - [Insights (37)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/tag/insights) - [Tax & Consulting (6)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/tag/tax-consulting) - [10 Minute Financial Plan (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/tag/10-minute-financial-plan) Archive - [April 2025 (4)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2025/04) - [March 2025 (2)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2025/03) - [February 2025 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2025/02) - [January 2025 (8)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2025/01) - [December 2024 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2024/12) - [November 2024 (8)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2024/11) - [October 2024 (6)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2024/10) - [September 2024 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2024/09) - [December 2023 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2023/12) - [November 2023 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2023/11) - [October 2023 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2023/10) - [August 2023 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2023/08) - [May 2022 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2022/05) - [February 2022 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2022/02) - [September 2020 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2020/09) - [August 2020 (2)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2020/08) - [June 2020 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2020/06) - [February 2020 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2020/02) - [January 2020 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2020/01) - [December 2019 (4)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2019/12) - [November 2019 (2)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2019/11) - [October 2019 (1)](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/archive/2019/10) See all ### Subscribe by email Share this [Share on X](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-marketwatch&text=Haddam+Road+in+the+News%3A+MarketWatch) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-marketwatch&t=Haddam+Road+in+the+News%3A+MarketWatch) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-marketwatch&t=Haddam+Road+in+the+News%3A+MarketWatch) Previous story [← The 4 "Solutions" to Negative Cash Flow](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/the-4-solutions-to-negative-cash-flow-video) Next story [Haddam Road in the News: FA Magazine Online →](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-fa-mag) ## You May Also Like These Related Insights [Haddam Road in the News](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-features-in-go-banking-rates) ![Haddam-InNews](https://blog.haddamroad.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Haddam-InNews.jpg?width=2188&height=1306&name=Haddam-InNews.jpg) [Tax & Consulting](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/tag/tax-consulting) ### Haddam Road in the News Dec 13, 2024 1 min read [Haddam Road in the News: FA Magazine Online](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-fa-mag) ![Haddam-InNews](https://blog.haddamroad.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Haddam-InNews.jpg?width=2188&height=1306&name=Haddam-InNews.jpg) [Tax & Consulting](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/tag/tax-consulting) ### Haddam Road in the News: FA Magazine Online Mar 31, 2025 1 min read [Haddam Road in the News: CNN Business](https://blog.haddamroad.com/insights/brian-kearns-featured-in-cnn-business) ![Haddam-InNews](https://blog.haddamroad.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Haddam-InNews.jpg?width=2188&height=1306&name=Haddam-InNews.jpg) ### Haddam Road in the News: CNN Business Apr 09, 2025 1 min read #### [![HaddamRoad-logo-hori-green-HR](https://blog.haddamroad.com/hubfs/HaddamRoad-logo-hori-green-HR.svg)](https://45773680.hs-sites.com) Haddam Road specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and tax & consulting services.
