Loading the player... A tax credit is an amount of money a taxpayer is able to subtract from taxes owed to the government. The value of a tax credit depends on the nature of the credit, and certain types of tax credits are granted to individuals or businesses in specific locations, classifications or industries.
Often this is for personal income tax, but it can also include other governmental taxes such as property tax. When you neglect or refuse to fully pay your tax debt on time, a lien is created. This means the government has a legal claim against your property, including real estate, personal property and financial assets. Do Tax Liens Affect Your Credit? Tax liens will appear on your credit report and could negatively affect your credit. How much a tax lien will affect your credit varies from person to person.
