What is a tax credit? You don't receive an income tax credit when you
buy the product, like an instant rebate. You claim the credit on your
federal income tax form at the end of the year. The credit then
increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount you have
to pay.
Tax credits vs. tax deductions. In general a tax credit is more
valuable than a similar tax deduction. A tax credit reduces the tax you
pay, dollar-for-dollar. Tax deductions - such as those for home
mortgages and charitable giving, for example - lower your taxable
income.
If you are in the 30 percent tax bracket, your income tax is reduced by
30 percent of the value of a tax deduction. But a tax credit reduces
your federal income tax by 100 percent of the amount of the credit.
