Why is a tax credit better than a tax deduction?
All taxpayers know that a tax credit minimizes their tax bill significantly. For instance, if a taxpayer owns let’s say $1,500 in federal income taxes and the same taxpayer gets a $1,000 tax credit, his/her tax bill will be only $500.
However, when it comes to refundable tax credits, it might feel like Lady Luck is on our side. A tax credit does wonders, but a refundable tax credit can also turn your tax bill into a tax refund (on top of that).
