  1. Educational Credits:
  1. The American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit can help offset the costs of higher education expenses.
  1. Small Business Tax Credits:
  1. If you own a small business, explore credits such as the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit and Work Opportunity Tax Credit to potentially reduce your tax burden.
  1. Energy Efficiency Credits:
