American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 —This course focuses on key tax provisions enacted under the $800 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 by analyzing tax issues affecting individuals and businesses contained in this first installment of President Obama’s massive economic and recovery agenda. Individual provisions include a new "making work pay” tax credit, an AMT patch, a sales tax deduction, tax credits for education and first-time homebuyers and enhanced tax benefits for energy efficient improvements to homes. Business provisions include the treatment of such issues as extended bonus depreciation, a limited five-year net operating loss carryback period, small business expensing and capital gains, estimated tax payments, and COBRA coverage. In addition, the course discusses new energy incentives and changes made to former energy regulations.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009—Congress began its recent tenure by sending President Obama the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for his signature within the first 30 days of his holding office. This latest piece of tax legislation provided some tax relief to both individuals and businesses. For individuals, tax relief was given in the form of modifying existing personal tax credits, creating some new credits, extending the AMT provision, and providing some new incentives to conserve energy. For businesses, tax incentives appeared as extensions for a year or two (e.g., expanded Section 179 expensing and additional 50% bonus depreciation), while other provisions are one- or two-year incentives (e.g., 5-year carryback of net operating losses, change in the recognition period for the S Corporation built-in gains tax). Not unlike the past couple of years, Congress is providing only short term fixes with one- or two-year extensions, and some modest modifications. This course focuses on those topics that appear applicable to the widest audience of taxpayers. In addition to the provisions mentioned above, the course will also discuss Making Work Pay credits, first-time homebuyer credit, HOPE and American Opportunity Tax Credit, plug-in electric vehicle credit, residential energy property credit, and energy conservation and efficiency provisions.

Live Seminars from Gear Up
Mid-Year Tax Update for Individuals — 2009 has been declared "The Year of Change," and this certainly applies
to tax laws. Already we have the American Recovery and Reinvestment Tax
Act of 2009, the first of many pieces of legislation expected this year.
Budget proposals include reforms, the likes of which we have not seen
since 1986. Some of the changes already passed include:
- Tons of changes related to energy and the environment
- Bonus depreciation and Section 179 deductions extended through 2009
- Net operating losses carried back further and with more flexibility
- Expanded earned income and child credits
- First-time homebuyer credit not subject to recapture
- New credits for tuition and related expenses
- Making Work Pay credit
- Economic recovery payments to certain non-workers
- New deductions for sales tax on autos
- Many extenders, including another AMT Patch
In addition, we will review the multitude of changes which were passed
very late in 2008 many of which are not effective until 2009.
Tax professionals need this information as soon as tax law changes
occur, and Gear Up will provide it! This timely course is just what you
need to be prepared to explain these changes your clients before the end
