What are Tax Credits?
Tax credits reduce the amount of income tax you owe to the federal and state governments. Credits are generally designed to encourage or reward certain types of behavior that are considered beneficial to the economy, the environment or to further any other purpose the government deems important. There are an array of tax credits available covering a wide range of expenses and situations, including: helping families wanting to adopt a child, education credits, and dependent care.

This catalog is not meant to give tax advice but to help our congregation take advantage of credits available to them when filing state income taxes and to bless members of our church seeking assistance. There are many, many limiting factors that may prevent people from getting full 100% credit against tax and Holy Cross takes no responsibility for the outcome of one's personal tax situation. All questions should be directed to a tax professional. The following organizations listed have been submitted voluntarily and their presence on this site does not communicate an endorsement from Holy Cross.
