First time making over 100k, trying to figure this out.

I’m 25 and am making about 130k a year not including my bonus. I’m doing all the normal stuff, maxing Roth/401K, emergency funds fully funded at 50k. So at this point I’m stocking away money in my portfolio but the tax man is bending me over the table without any worry about a safe word.

I’m young enough that I don’t have anything I can really deduct and everything is so expensive that it’s hard to get into house. So now I’m just kinda stuck making all this money and fearing the tax man like I remember my grandfather doing when I was a kid. Is anyone else in the same boat or has any advice for someone my age?

Update: I really appreciate a lot of the feedback from you guys. To clarify a few things, I have my withholdings set correctly not to owe any money. My real concern with my taxes is honestly just in the shear volume I pay every year. I’m sure some of this is just not me being used to being in this high of a bracket but Jesus. I payed somewhere in the neighborhood of 40k between state, federal, and all the other taxes. It seems to me the only way to reduce this is to find deductions to decrease my taxable income but this is my pinch point. I don’t have any assets to depreciate, no debts, and I can’t even afford a house where I live based on where everything is at right now. It seems like I just have no access to that portion of the tax code. I’m trying to figure out how to decrease that amount over the course of the year and also invest well. I’m going to speak to a financial advisor soon but I really do appreciate the time a lot of people took to suggest things. Thanks guys!
