It is nothing more than an advance on next years return.
I dont think thats the case. Income tax incentive returns do not count as income and are not taxable. Thats like teh IRS taxing your return on what they have already overtaxed you.

However, if it is written as a tax loan or prepayment then yes it could be deducted.
