Tax credits are like gift cards from the government that can help you reduce the amount of money you owe in taxes ๐
Letโs say you owe $100 in taxes ๐ธ
But, you make a $10 donation and you get $5 of tax credit๐ก
After applying $5 of tax credit to your original $100 of money owed, you now only owe $95! ๐ฅณ
The tax credit will apply to your taxes owed, regardless of income level or tax bracket ๐ค
In fact, if you can rack up enough tax credits, you may not need to pay any tax at all!
One way to earn tax credits is to make green energy investments, such as energy-efficiency improvements to your home ๐
In 2023, in California it was possible to earn up to $20k in tax credits just for buying a Tesla car!
Tax credits can also be available for certain donations made to charitable organizations ๐ธ
In the case of donations, the amount of credit you get is usually a percentage of the donation amount ๐ค
Tax credits may also be available for certain types of personal expenses, such as medical bills or educational expenses ๐ซ
Now you know that tax credits can help you save money on your taxes and can also be an incentive to make certain types of investments or donations! ๐ค
