Here are some key points from the episode:
- Schedule 3 is where you might get some additional credits and payments after your taxes have been calculated.

- You can also get a foreign tax credit if you paid taxes on international funds held within your brokerage account.
- The credit for child and dependent care expenses can provide some benefit based on your income level and the amount paid for childcare, with the maximum credit being $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more qualifying children.
- Education credits such as the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit are available for those who have college expenses.
- If you are saving for retirement, you may be eligible for a retirement credit.
