  • Tax Rates — For most Americans, tax rates will stay the same for 2013, as they were in 2012.
  • Alternative Minimum Tax — Gone are the days of waiting for Congress to enact its annual AMT patch.
  • Education Provisions — To help offset the ever-increasing cost of education, Congress has extended several popular education provisions (although not permanently).
  • 2% Employee Social Security Break – This provision was allowed to sunset.
  • Estate Taxes — Your children have been dying to learn about this provision!
  • Capital Gains and Qualified Dividends – Learn how you will be affected.
  • Phase-Outs – Learn what will happen with personal exemptions and itemized deduction phase-outs.
  • Depreciation — Congress didn’t fail to deliver on a belated Christmas present to businesses having purchased or planning to purchase fixed assets!
  • Tax-Free Sale of Business Stock — This is a provision that has been modified and extended many times over the years and is often overlooked as a long-term planning strategy.
  • Important Facts & Figures – Including the standard business mileage rate, Social Security wage base, and earnings limits for Social Security recipients.
  • 2013 Contribution Limits – How will your plans be affected?

Many changes begin for both individuals and businesses in 2013 as a result of the Affordable Care Act. Accordingly, we are devoting next month’s newsletter to these provisions, as well as, a special section on our website. Look for this the first of February.
