Tax returns are the forms (e.g., Form 1040) required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for individuals to report their income, deductions, and credits for a given tax year.
A refund is a repayment of taxes paid that exceed an individual’s total tax liability for the year. Refunds are typically claimed when taxpayers file their annual tax return and receive a refund of the amount they overpaid during the year.

  2. Income tax brackets shift
  3. The child tax credit is smaller
  4. Income thresholds drop for the child and dependent care credit
  5. Earned income tax credit shrinks for childless taxpayers
