Your 2021 Guide to Tax Credits
There are two main ways Americans can save money on their taxes -- tax deductions and tax credits. And here's the big difference: Tax deductions reduce the amount of income that is subject to federal income tax, while tax credits reduce the amount of tax you owe, dollar for dollar.

So here's a look at some of the most common tax credits you should know, and how much they could save you on your 2021 federal income tax return.
