tax credits

Owed amount reducers

Tax credits are reductions in the amount of tax owed, subtracted directly from a tax bill rather than from taxable income.

Governments offer tax credits to encourage specific behaviors or provide relief: child tax credits, earned income tax credits, credits for energy-efficient home improvements.

A refundable tax credit pays out even if it exceeds what you owe; a nonrefundable credit only reduces your bill to zero.
