Tax Credits vs. Deductions: Know the Difference, Save More.

Tax credits and deductions are your primary tools for reducing your tax bill. Understanding your eligibility and how each works is key; they won’t apply themselves.

Here’s the basics:

Tax credits directly reduce your tax liability, dollar-for-dollar. A $100 credit cuts your taxes owed by $100.

Tax deductions lower your taxable income. A $100 deduction reduces your income subject to tax by $100. The actual tax savings depend on your tax bracket.
