Deductions are used to lower your taxable income, while tax credits are subtracted from the amount you owe.
Your tax bracket is determined by your taxable income and filing status. Our tax refund calculator will show you how.
Standard deductions lower your income by one fixed amount. Itemized deductions are a list of eligible expenses that also reduce your taxable income.
