Deductions & credits

@allibaba6  You don't necessarily get a refund of the $4,500. It's a credit that is applied against your tax for the year. The credit and your refund are two different things. Look at the actual tax form, not the refund "meter." If line 28 on your Form 1040 is $4,500 you are getting the full credit.
