Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
"In addition, certain individual and business tax provisions that expired at the end of 2011 have been extended for both 2012 and 2013, including:
Deductions for state and local sales taxes Deduction for tuition expenses "IRA charitable rollover," which allows individuals over the age of 70½ to roll up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to a charity."
The examples are all individual tax provisions. You never hear about the business tax provisions that have been extended, such as some Hollywood production cost writeoffs, accelerated sports car track writeoffs, etc.
