Answer:

Tax deductions are expenses or allowances that taxpayers can subtract from their gross income to reduce the amount of taxable income. This, in turn, lowers the amount of tax that the individual or business owes to the government. Tax deductions help reduce the tax burden on taxpayers by allowing them to deduct certain expenses from their taxable income.

Common tax deductions available to taxpayers include:

  • Mortgage interest deductions
  • Charitable contributions deductions
  • Medical expenses deductions
  • Education expenses deductions
  • State and local tax deductions
  • Business expenses deductions
  • Home office deductions

It is important for taxpayers to carefully track and document their expenses in order to take advantage of available deductions and reduce their tax liability.
