New CCH Tax Briefing Reviews Major Tax Developments of 2013

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., January 6, 2014) – The year 2013 was eventful for federal tax developments with the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), which permanently extended the Bush-era tax cuts for all but higher-income taxpayers as well as numerous other important provisions. Important regulations and guidance were also released in 2013 relating to the Affordable Care Act (ACA and also known as “Obamacare”), including the new 3.8-percent Net Investment Income (NII) Tax and 0.9-percent Additional Medicare Tax, capitalization and repairs, the tax treatment of married same-sex couples and much more.
