Tax' Deductions' are expenses the IRS allows you to subtract from your taxable income. If you have taxable income of $30, 000 and deductions of $3, 000, then you would figure how much tax you owe on the difference - $27, 000. Most deductions are reported by itemizing taxpayers on Schedule A, but some - such as alimony payments, moving expenses, deductible IRA and Keogh contributions - are found directly on the long Form 1040.
