After reading thru the thread, I want to make sure that I understand the $7500 Fed tax credit thing better.
I'm going to use imaginary numbers but let's say that based on factoring all of the salary, dividend income, savings interest income, mortage interest and charitable deductions, I owe $20,000 in taxes.....if have my employer withhold $19,000, I would then have to pay $1000 in taxes.
How does the $7500 credit change these numbers?.....based on my above scenario, can I still have my employer withold the $19,000 and still make my charitable contributions to claim them as well as claim my mortgage interest and still collect my $7500 or would I only get the $1000 that I noramlly would have paid?.......if that's the case, do I need to dial back that $19,000 employer withholding and dial back the charitable contributions to claim the entire $7500?
