@EY1 that's dope. Feel like I can swing that. Thanks fam!

@KPMG next level. Have you used any of those methods successfully?

Depending on the card benefits, I'll buy gift cards at certain stores. I used to do bluebird when it still took Visa goft cards. If you get close to the minimum, you can send money to friend/relative using amazon pay

Send money to someone you trust using PayPal. Only have to really pay the 2.9% fee.

Pre pay recurring expenses (cable, electricity, etc) can help too

Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.
