How Deductions Impact Your Refund

Tax deductions don't reduce your tax bill dollar-for-dollar. Instead, they reduce your taxable income. The actual cash benefit you receive depends on your marginal tax rate (the rate of tax you pay on your highest dollar of income).

For every $100 you claim in deductions, a person on a 30% tax rate gets approximately $30 back.

Simple visual flow: Gross Income minus Deductions equals Lower Taxable Income equals Bigger Refund
