THOMSON REUTERS CHECKPOINT RELEASES COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF TAX INCREASE PREVENTION ACT OF 2014

Thomson Reuters Corp.'s Thomson Reuters Checkpoint has released RIA's complete analysis of the tax and ERISA provisions of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, the Achieving a Better Life Experience Act of 2014, the 2015 Continuing Appropriations Act and other acts of the 113th Congress. The complete analysis examines the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, which was passed by Congress on Dec. 16, 2014. The complete analysis includes 180 separate articles providing in-depth analysis of the new law.

The act extends a host of previously expired tax breaks for individuals and businesses through year-end, and also provides for the establishment of a new type of tax-advantaged savings program to help in meeting the financial needs of disabled individuals.

"The long-awaited tax extender legislation has now been passed, but it only provides certainty with regard to these provisions through the end of the year," said Catherine Murray, tax analyst with the tax and accounting business of Thomson Reuters. "Whether they will be temporarily extended again in the future, or addressed in a more substantive way as part of a comprehensive tax reform effort, remains to be seen."

In addition to the complete analysis, Thomson Reuters Checkpoint will soon provide a complementary special report on the act, as well as the pension reform provisions provided in the 2015 Continuing Appropriations Act. For a preview article on the business provisions extended by the act, visit the company's website, which is one of a series of articles that appeared on Checkpoint.
