The Internal Revenue Services Presents: Refundable Tax Credits Awareness
A refundable tax credit is a credit you can get as a refund even if you don't owe any tax.
Tax credits are amounts you subtract from your bottom-line tax due when you file your tax return. Most tax credits can reduce your tax only until it reaches $0. Refundable credits go beyond that to give you any remaining credit as a refund. That's why it's best to file taxes even if you don't have to. Many people who qualify for refundable credits miss out on refunds because they don't file. See if you qualify for these refundable tax credits.
