When you have a tax credit it is an amount that could possible reduce your tax liability after your income tax return is completed correctly.

For income tax you can have a nonrefundable credit and a refundable credit.

With the refundable credit any amount that is more than your income tax liability would refunded to you.

With the nonrefundable credit the amount of the tax credit would reduce your tax liability to -0- ZERO and it could be possible that you carryover the remaining amount of nonrefundable credit to a future year.
