Indiana Tax Deductions

Allowances provided to reduce taxable income are commonly known as "tax deductions" in the context of the United States tax system. Tax deductions lower your taxable income, and consequently, your tax liability. They are subtracted from your gross income, making the income subject to tax lower.

There are various types of tax deductions, including:

  • Standard Deduction: A fixed amount that taxpayers can deduct from their income. The standard deduction amount varies based on the taxpayer's filing status (e.g., single, married filing jointly, etc.).
  • Itemized Deductions: Specific expenses that taxpayers can itemize and deduct from their income. These include medical and dental expenses, state and local taxes (SALT), mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and others.
  • Above-the-Line Deductions: Also known as adjustments to income, these deductions can be taken in addition to the standard deduction or itemized deductions. They include contributions to retirement accounts, student loan interest, educator expenses, and more.

The purpose of these deductions is to reduce the amount of income that is subject to tax, thereby lowering the overall tax burden for an individual or household. The applicable deductions can vary depending on the taxpayer's individual circumstances, financial activities, and changes in tax law.

Indiana Tax Credits

Allowances provided to reduce the calculated income tax due are typically referred to as "tax credits" in the United States tax system. Tax credits differ from tax deductions in that they directly reduce the amount of tax owed, rather than just reducing taxable income. Here's a brief overview:

  • Nonrefundable Tax Credits: These credits can bring your tax liability down to zero but won't result in a tax refund. Common examples include the Child and Dependent Care Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit.
  • Refundable Tax Credits: These credits not only reduce your tax liability to zero but also allow for a refund if the credit exceeds your tax liability. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a notable example, benefiting low- and moderate-income earners.
  • Partially Refundable Tax Credits: A combination of the first two types, where a part of the credit is used to reduce tax liability to zero and the remainder is refundable. The Child Tax Credit falls under this category, with certain portions being refundable under specific conditions.

Tax credits are highly valuable as they directly reduce the total tax bill, potentially leading to significant savings or even refunds. The availability and specifics of tax credits can vary based on individual circumstances and changes in tax laws.
