(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Tax credits may be characterized as refundable or non-refundable. Refundable tax credits can reduce the tax owed below zero, and result in a net payment to the taxpayer beyond their own payments into the tax system. An example of a refundable tax credit is the additional child tax credit.
A non-refundable tax credit cannot reduce the tax owed below zero, and hence cannot cause a taxpayer to receive a refund in excess of their payments into the tax system. Some example of non-refundable tax credits tax credits are the Hope and Lifetime Learning educational tax credits.
