tax liability

What you owe

Tax liability is the total amount of tax that a person or entity owes to a government authority for a given period.

It represents what you're legally obligated to pay based on your income, property, transactions, or other taxable activities.

Your tax liability may be reduced by credits, deductions, and withholdings, so what you actually owe when you file may differ from the initial calculation.

After factoring in the child tax credit, our tax liability dropped significantly.
