Tax Credit Reform Still
Needed |
The House passed the Jobs for Main Street Act (HR
2847) on December 16 which did not include any Rental
Housing A.C.T.I.O.N. proposals. However, we anticipate
the House will consider jobs-related legislation early
next year that will contain business tax provisions, and
we are targeting that bill for our A.C.T.I.O.N.
proposals. In his "jobs summit," President Obama
recently called for business tax provisions to be
included in jobs legislation to help address
unemployment.
The Senate also has business
tax provisions, such as the carryback for all general
business tax credits, they are considering including in
the jobs bill. Since the Senate has not yet considered
the extenders or jobs bill and is not likely to do so
before the end of the year, it is possible the extenders
bill will be combined with the jobs bill into a larger
bill.
