Last week Congress passed the “Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014,” which President Obama signed into law on Friday December 19, 2014. Referred to as the “extenders package,” it extends certain tax provisions that had expired on December 31, 2013. The extension of almost all provisions is through December 31, 2014, which is of course a very welcome development for those who will see benefits relating to their 2014 activity. However, for those who have been waiting to take action until the passage of extender legislation, it leaves very little time to get things done.
The more universally applicable provisions which have been extended are summarized below.

All funds raised by Buck Up Bucks County will go directly toward renovating the existing bathrooms at the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter and purchasing a bus for Advocates for Homeless & Those in Need, an organization which provides transportation and shelter to that population in lower Bucks County.
