Tax Foundation Projects 2011 Tax Parameters Using New Inflation Numbers

With Obama and Congress dithering over the Bush tax cuts and probably leaving it all in limbo for the lame duck Congress when those already voted out will have a chance the push something through, I can't imagine anything worse than being a professional tax preparer, or someone who will need their services (and that's just about everyone). The Tax Foundation has prepared three scenarios (as of Sept. 17).

From news release: "Tax Foundation Fiscal Fact, No. 245, "Tax Foundation Projects 2011 Tax Parameters Following Release of New Inflation Data," outlines inflation-adjusted 2011 federal income tax parameters under three policy scenarios:

(1) All the Bush-era tax cuts expire;

(2) All the tax cuts are extended (Republican plan);

(3) Congressional Democrats' proposal is adopted, which is similar to the Obama plan but does not extend major stimulus measures or include additional limits on itemized deductions.

The report is available online at http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/26719.html."
