What are tax incentives?

Tax incentives are fun rewards that help you keep more of your money when you do something smart.

Imagine you're saving up to buy a new bike. Your parents say, "If you save $10 each week, we'll give you an extra $2 at the end of the month!" That extra $2 is like a tax incentive, it’s a little bonus that makes your goal easier.

When you do something good, like saving money or helping others, sometimes the government gives you a little gift, like that extra $2. This gift can help you buy things faster or save more money for later.

Think of it like getting a sticker every time you finish your homework. The sticker is a small reward, and just like that, tax incentives are small rewards from the government to encourage people to do good things.
