Understanding Tax Credits and Deductions
Tax Credits:Â Tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, dollar for dollar. They can be either refundable or non-refundable. Refundable credits can reduce your tax liability below zero, resulting in a refund. Non-refundable credits can only reduce your tax liability to zero, but no further.
Tax Deductions:Â Tax deductions reduce your taxable income, lowering the amount of income subject to tax. Deductions can be standard or itemized, depending on your financial situation and eligibility.
Why Tax Credits and Deductions Matter
1. Reduce Tax Liability:Â Taking full advantage of credits and deductions can significantly lower your tax bill, leaving you with more disposable income.
2. Increase Refunds:Â Refundable tax credits can result in a larger tax refund, providing a financial boost.
3. Strategic Financial Planning:Â Understanding and utilizing credits and deductions is a key component of effective tax planning and long-term financial strategy.
