Tax Credits
A tax credit is a tax benefit that offsets the tax dollar for dollar. Most credits are nonrefundable and can only be used to reduce the tax to zero. A refundable credit, like the earned income credit, offsets the tax and any balance not used to offset the tax is refundable and included in the year’s refund. Unused credit from some nonrefundable credits can be carried over and some cannot.
