Tax credits are among the most valuable features of any tax system because they represent a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of tax liability. In some cases, they may even generate a refund. The problem is that many available tax credits are complicated and not well known by taxpayers. As a result, many credits at both the federal and state level go unused. This course is designed to help you build a strategy for identifying applicable tax credits and maximizing their use. 

Topic covered include:

  • The earned income tax credit
  • The child tax credit
  • Energy-related tax credits
  • Business incentive tax credits
  • The foreign tax credit
  • State tax credits

Business Incentive Tax Credit: Provide companies with a direct reduction in tax liability in return for taking a particular action.

Child Tax Credit: A child tax credit is a tax credit for parents with dependent children given by various countries. The credit is often linked to the number of dependent children a taxpayer has and sometimes the taxpayer's income level.

EITC - Earned Income Tax Credit : The United States federal earned income tax credit or earned income credit is a refundable tax credit for low- to moderate-income working individuals and couples, particularly those with children. The amount of EITC benefit depends on a recipient's income and number of children.

Empowerment Zone Credit: Is an incentive to businesses that are located in an empowerment zone (EZ) to hire and retain employees who also live in the EZ.

Energy Investment Credit: Is a government-sponsored incentive that reduces the cost for people and businesses to use alternative energy resources.

Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA): The Federal Insurance Contributions Act is a United States federal payroll contribution directed towards both employees and employers to fund Social Security and Medicare—federal programs that provide benefits for retirees, people with disabilities, and children of deceased workers.

Foreign Tax Credit: Is a U.S. tax credit used to offset income tax paid abroad. U.S. citizens and resident aliens who pay income taxes imposed by a foreign country or U.S. possession can claim the credit.

Non-Refundable Credit: A non-refundable tax credit is a tax credit that can only reduce a taxpayer's liability to zero. 1? Any amount that remains from the credit is automatically forfeited by the taxpayer. A nonrefundable credit can also be referred to as a wastable tax credit, which may be contrasted with refundable tax credits.

Nonrefundable Tax Credit: Is a credit that is applied to taxes payable that only reduces a taxpayer's liability to a minimum of zero.

Qualified Research Expenditure (QRE): An in-house research expense of the taxpayer or a contract research expense of the taxpayer is a qualified research expense only if the expense is paid or incurred by the taxpayer in carrying on a trade or business of the taxpayer.

Refundable Credit : Refundable tax credits are called “refundable” because if you qualify for a refundable credit and the amount of the credit is larger than the tax you owe, you will receive a refund for the difference. For example, if you owe $800 in taxes and qualify for a $1,000 refundable credit, you would receive a $200 refund.

Refundable Tax Credit: Is a tax credit that is refunded to the taxpayer no matter how much the taxpayer's liability is.

Solar Tax Credit: Is a tax credit that can be claimed on federal income taxes for a percentage of the cost of a solar PV system paid for by the taxpayer.

Tax Bracket: The range of incomes taxed at given rates, which typically differ depending on filing status.

Tax Credit: Is an amount of money that taxpayers can subtract, dollar for dollar, from the income taxes they owe.

Tax Deduction: An item you can subtract from your taxable income to lower the amount of taxes you owe.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC): Is a federal tax credit available to employers who invest in American job seekers who have consistently faced barriers to employment.
