The House of Representatives voted to keep lapsed tax breaks for 2014 but no agreement has been reached for 2015.

Delray Beach, Florida (PRWEB) December 12, 2014

The so-called bare minimum package was finally agreed upon by the House of Representatives. This will avoid delaying tax refunds and disadvantaging taxpayers in the coming tax season. The House voted 378-46 to approve the measure, which provides $42 billion in relief to taxpayers. The Senate will not amend the bill so there will be a simple up or down vote to decide. This also comes as a welcome relief to tax professionals across America who have been waiting to hear the outcome of this decision.

However, as Jody Dovich at Sigma Tax Pro explains, this still leaves uncertainty in the future for taxpayers and tax pros alike. “Many of our clients are relieved that they now know what the 2014 tax season will look like, but they still want a long-term solution to the problem,” states Jody Dovich. President Obama has said he is also open to the short-term bare minimum option but has not confirmed whether or not he will sign the bill if the Senate votes in favor.
