    So what is a tax credit? A tax credit directly reduces the amount of tax you owe, by giving you a “dollar for dollar” reduction of your tax liability.
    Now - what is a tax deduction? Well, a tax deduction reduces how much of your income is subject to taxes. So a deduction focuses on lowering your taxable income NOT your tax liability.
    Make sure you watch this entire video because the examples make EVERYTHING VERY CLEAR.

    Thank you for simplifying these two terms. I spent 40 min perusing some of the videos on this topic, and your video was by far the easiest to follow. Thank you for dumbing it down for me!
