Deductions & credits (2026)
Credits reduce tax dollar-for-dollar; deductions reduce taxable income. This category covers both — from the Child Tax Credit and EITC to medical, charitable, and SALT itemizing choices.
2026 planning also includes ACA premium tax credit schedules, federal SNAP benefit math (baseline), and the clean-vehicle credit acquisition cutoff so you do not rely on expired headline amounts.
