A tax credit reduces the income tax you pay, while a deduction reduces the amount of your income that is subject to income tax.rom a practical perspective, both tax credits and deductions reduce your tax. The difference between credits and tax deductions centers around their process, not their effect.
Unlike adjustments, exemptions and deductions, which apply to your income, tax credits apply to your tax liability (which means the amount of tax that you owe). For example, if you calculate that you have tax liability of $1,000 (based on your taxable income and your tax bracket) and you are eligible for a tax credit of $200,that would reduce your liability to $800. You would only owe $800.
