Certain moving expenses are tax deductible if you're moving for work, from a location that is more than 50 miles away from your new job to a location that is less than 50 miles away.
Money received from paid family leave is tax-deductible on state taxes in California, but not on federal taxes. This can be a big chunk, since PFL is basically a replacement of income for the duration, and having your income be non-taxed is a pretty big refund.
Charitable contributions are tax-deductible. I think everyone knows this, but the wording on form 1040 can be somewhat confusing as to when you can take itemized charitable deductions and when you should take the standard deduction.
