One financial responsibility that all people in the country have is to pay their federal tax liability each year. While federal taxes can be very high for some people, the tax code provides tax payers with access to a variety of tax credits and deductions which could help save thousands of dollars each year for each tax payer. One of the most common tax credits that people take advantage of are child care tax credits. Each parent who has a child, which is claimed as a dependent, has the right to claim the child on their tax return. Claiming this child will result in a sizable tax credit which will be refunded directly to the tax payer when they file.
