Expert Solution
Step 1
The tax liability of a person depends upon the filing status and the taxable income. The tax deduction lowers the taxable income of the taxpayer and ultimately the tax liability also reduces. The tax rules provide deductions to the taxpayers which are reduced from the gross income. The tax credit and tax deduction both are different.
