New CCH Tax Briefing Examines 2012 Federal Budget Proposal

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., February 18, 2011) – The budget debate is well underway on Capitol Hill with lawmakers trying to see eye-to-eye on where to spend and what to cut. CCH has issued a new Tax Briefing that examines how budget provisions may impact individual and business taxes. CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business, is the leading global provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com).

Overall, President Obama has proposed $3.73 trillion in federal spending and $1.1 trillion in deficit reductions. The fiscal year 2012 budget also calls for ending Bush-era tax cuts for higher income individuals, making the American Opportunity Tax Credit permanent and eliminating some energy tax incentives.

“Despite the heated debates, there are some tax issues where Democrats and Republicans are generally in agreement,” said CCH Principal Federal Tax Analyst Mark Luscombe, JD, LLM, CPA. “For example, the White House and GOP leaders have said they’re both in favor of reducing corporate tax rates.”
