Dear Clients, Congress is starting work on taxes again. Taxwriters took a break after passing health care, but are now returning their attention to the tax code. The goal is to OK a bill before Memorial Day. A host of expired tax breaks will be revived for this year, retroactive to Jan

Obama’s timetable for tax hikes is in trouble. Democrats aren’t fully supporting his plan. While Obama wants action this year on his proposal to end the Bush tax cuts for upper income taxpayers, some Democrats in Congress worry about losing seats in the Nov. elections and would prefer to delay a vote on his plan until the U.S. economy picks up steam. Obama wants to revive higher top tax rates…36% and 39.6%…in effect before the Bush tax cuts were OK’d in 2001. His budget plan for fiscal 2011 would start the 36% tax bracket at about $231,000 of taxable income for married couples and approximately $196,000 for single filers.

Dear Client, A not-so-subtle shift in Washington… From Congress to executive agencies. They are picking up the pieces and taking action on issues important to businesses and individuals. In some cases, the motive is frustration. Officials are tired of waiting for Congress, which has a full agenda and perennial gridlock. A few agencies are pushing ahead to set the agenda to keep lawmakers from taking actions they oppose.

Dear Client, For the shaky U.S. economy in 2010… A year of transition and modest growth. The government will begin a careful withdrawal after pulling the economy back from the brink and spurring a recovery through massive intervention. Expect a very different landscape in a year. Government will still be an active player, but look for the economy to stand more on its own. Gone will be many of the emergency props put in place when fears of a depression reigned

Dear Client, Congress is leaving behind a big tax mess: Many key issues remain unresolved for now. Although the House approved extensions for a group of expiring tax breaks, the Senate got bogged down in debate over health care overhaul, preventing it from tackling other must-do bills before year-end. The gridlock could lead to a train wreck on taxes in 2010. Not only will unfinished business have to be taken care of, but Congress will be staring at another major deadline because the Bush tax cuts will expire at the end of the year if nothing is done.
