Its very simply the amountof taxes you paid in through the year (whether that be from payroll withholding, similar estimated payments - required by self employed and the like, withholding from other things - like lottery or gambling winnings, etc., etc.), all of which you take as a credit - toward the amount of tax you ultimately (on completing the return and considering everything, including any available deductions), have to pay. If you paid in too much, you get a refund. too little and you pay that extra, plus applicable penalties and interest.
