2013 began with a highly significant tax
development with the passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 late
in the day on January 1. While New Year’s Day proved to be the end of
significant tax legislation for the year, 2013 nonetheless had no shortage of
federal tax developments. The IRS released important guidance relating to the
Affordable Care Act, the Net Investment Income tax and Additional Medicare Tax,
capitalization and repairs, the tax treatment of married same-sex couples and
much more. The year also saw developments in the area of international
taxation.
2013 saw no shortage of tax-related
information, and CCH had it covered throughout the year, starting early on New
Year’s Day and all year long.
CCH's Tax Briefing: 2013 Tax Year-In-Review
