Tax Deductions vs. Tax Credits
What’s the Difference?
“A tax credit lowers your tax bill dollar for dollar. A deduction shaves money off your taxable income, so the value depends on your tax bracket. If you’re in the 25% bracket, a $1,000 deduction lowers your tax bill by $250. But a $1,000 credit lowers the bill by the full $1,000, no matter in which bracket you are.” (Kimberly Lankford, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance).
