Iu2019ll just start by saying please take the time to read through at least a summary of the new tax reform to see how it affects you, because it will affect you.As for common tax credits:Earned Income Tax Credit:The IRS claims that 1 in 5 people that qualify for this donu2019t even file for it, so check to see if you meet the qualifications. Itu2019s geared towards people with low to moderate income.Child and Development Care CreditThis credit is for those who paid for a child to be taken care of, given the child is under 13 years old, so that you may attend school or work. For example, if you have a kid and you pay a babysitter to watch them while you work, you probably qualify.American Opportunity Tax CreditThis credit is for students pursuing higher levels of education (the education has to culminate with a degree or some other education credential). Itu2019s worth up to $2,500 and can be used for 4 tax years per student.Lifetime Learning CreditSimilar to the previous credit, this applies to education and job training. Itu2019s with up to $2,000 and thereu2019s no maximum number of years you can claim it.Advanced Premium Tax CreditThis one is incredibly complicated and works on a sliding scale based on multiple demographics (marital status, income, household size). Basically it allows low income people to pay healthcare premiums when they purchase healthcare through the Get 2022 health coverage. Health Insurance Marketplace exchange. To be entirely honest, I donu2019t have a full grasp on this tax credit, if somebody wanted to explain more in detail in the comments that would be appreciated.Savers CreditThis is, as the title suggest, a credit for people of low to moderates income who are saving money. If you qualify and youu2019re putting money in a retirement plan like a 401(k), you could qualify for up to $2,000.Adoption CreditThis applies to a smaller percentage of people, but I still thought I should include it. If you adopt a child, you could qualify for up to ~$13,000 in credit. This is to offset the costs of attorneys, travel, adoptions fees, etc.Child Tax CreditThis applies to many American families. Depending on marital status and income, you could qualify for up to $1,000 per child. The IRS hs a few requirements, however, such as the child must be under 17, live with you a certain percentage of the time, and be filed as a dependent.Credit for the Elderly or the DisabledThis credits worth is up to $7,500. Itu2019s for people 65 or older or retired on permanent disability snd have a taxable income. This is another credit that I have a loose understanding of, so a thorough description in the comments would be appreciated.Energy CreditsThese have been scaled back in the past few years because of the growth in popularity of alternative energy sources, but they still exist. Installing energy efficient windows or insulation qualifies you for up to a $500 deductible. Grander projects like geothermal heating systems and solar water heaters earn you a 30% credit.*if any of these are outdated or explained in a manner that doesnu2019t quite cover all that it should, feel free to comment and Iu2019ll adjust as needed.u201cIn this world, nothing can be certain except death and taxesu201d-Benjamin Franklin
