Category: Tax Deductions and Credits

Deductions and credits may be similar but they are far from identical when it comes to your tax return. A tax deduction is a qualifying expense that decreases your taxable income. On the other hand, tax credits allow taxpayers to reduce their tax due to the IRS, dollar-for-dollar. You subtract the amount that the credit is worth from your tax liabilities. If you had to compare the two, a tax credit is more valuable on your tax return. Want to learn more about different credits you are eligible for or tax expenses you can claim? PriorTax tells you about expenses you can claim.
