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).

  1. My wife and I have already given $1,200.00 to our daughter who is about to lose her job. We also plan to give her any additional new monies we receive. Where does that place us tax-wise–or her?

  2. How about PPP. I’m a one man show so the PPP was to aid in replacing my huge losses as compared
    to my 2019 income. Is that money going to be added to my tax bill?
