Tax Relief For Individuals and Businesses
tax relief
On December 17, 2010, the president signed the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (also known as the Tax Relief Act), extending a variety of tax provisions. The act also provided an important depreciation incentive for businesses and a new 2011 tax break for individuals. Beginning in 2011, the estate tax is restored, but with an increased exemption and lower rate.

The following topics will be addressed, and we will have more information going forward in 2011.
  • Continuation of individual income tax rates
  • Business stimulus: improved bonus depreciation
  • Business provisions extended
  • Individual provisions rolled forward
  • Payroll tax cut for 2011
  • Estate tax restoration
