    So... A tax deduction's function is to move your AGI downward toward the next tax lowest tax rate. Whether it achieves that next lowest rate or not, either way you will still owe taxes.
    At that point, whatever that number is, a tax credit is used to reduce that number directly.

    • @LYFEAccounting
      @LYFEAccounting  2 года назад

      CORRECT! Though you can lower your AGI to 0 with enough deductions.
