Deduction


Explanation:
Well, I'd use "tax deduction"...or "deduction" as a more relevant word to the matter at hand. Sure, write-off is a synonym to deduction, but deduction is the more commonly used word.

Example sentence(s):
  • She received a large tax deduction for claiming single with six children on her income tax return.
