Tax Saving Strategies Book: Tax When You Get A Pension: Tax Planning For Beginners

When most of the Tax Saving Laws were set to expire at midnight, December 31st, 2014, in a rush to keep taxes from increasing, Congress signed into law on December 19th, 2014 in a last-minute Hail Mary one-year extension kicking the can down the road until the next Congress could deal with it. Both Houses of Congress made campaign promises to introduce a comprehensive tax restructure and reform for 2015. As usual, it is now in the twelfth hour of the closing minutes of 2015, and the do-nothing Congress is basically, doing nothing. The only ray of hope, however, is that Congress usually makes these extensions "retroactive" or backdate for current taxpayers to get their deductions on the 2015 Tax Returns prepared by April 15th, 2016.
