Tax deductions are one of the few tax topics that generate some excitement. While nobody likes to pay taxes, everybody loves to use deductions to lower their taxes. To put it plainly, a tax deduction lowers your taxable income, which therefore lowers your tax liability. Some people mistakenly think a tax deduction is a direct reduction of taxes owed. That is actually a tax credit, which does directly reduce the amount of taxes owed instead of simply reducing your taxable income. Tax deductions come in two major flavors: the standard deduction and itemized deductions. The standard deduction is just thatâa standard dollar amount set by the IRS each year. This is the easiest deduction to take because there are no calculations to make, no receipts to gather, and no additional tax forms to prepare.
