2014 “Tax Extender” Legislation

In late December Congress passed the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which served to extend more than 50 individual, business and energy tax incentives retroactively to January 1, 2014.  The Act includes all of the popular incentives for individuals, such as the state and local sales tax deduction and higher education tuition deduction, as well as many business incentives, including the research tax credit, bonus depreciation and enhanced Code Sec. 179 expensing.  A handful of extenders were not renewed, mostly targeted to energy efficiency.
