(RIVERWOODS, ILL., September 16, 2010) – CCH has issued a Special Tax Briefing providing background and analysis of the Senate-approved Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 (H.R. 5297).

The bill includes a package of enhanced small business tax incentives. In addition to many non-tax provisions related to small business lending and access to capital, tax provisions in the legislation include a retroactive extension of bonus depreciation, a doubling of the Code Sec. 179 expense limit, a five-year general business credit carryback, a 100-percent exclusion for qualified investments in small business, an increase in start-up business expensing and a five-year holding period for built-in gains of S Corporations. Other provisions address the tax treatment of business-provided cell phones, the penalty for failure to report a listed transaction, Roth accounts in 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans and the treatment of nonqualified annuities.

Revenue offsets included in the legislation remove crude tall oil from eligibility for the cellulosic biofuels credit, increase the penalties for failure to file information returns, expand 1099 reporting of real estate rental payments, allow earlier IRS levies on federal contractor payments and address the sourcing rules for guarantee fees.  

The House is likely to pass the legislation the week of September 20 and send it to the President for his expected signature.
