[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, I was just noting it was a tax credit and not a deduction[/quote]
New poster, with a polite & respectful request for you and others who get picky about the technical differences between credits, deductions, write-offs, etc: Yes, we understand there are important differences among these items, and that they get treated differently by the Tax Code and in returns.  However, when someone is asking a basic question -- such as "Is ____ deductible?" -- it's really disruptive to the discussion to have a tangential battle over technical terminology.  It's especially frustrating to see someone belittle other posters or their contributions because they used the wrong terminology.  Regardless of whether the item is a credit or a deduction, or whether it can be "written off," the poster is usually just asking whether she can get some tax benefit or not.  Can you all please, please, please try to focus on the substantive question without bickering over the technical details?  It would improve the attitude of this forum, and might keep us from devolving into the snark-fest that we see on other forums.  Thanks for your consideration.[/quote]
