Coalition calls for Congress to pass “tax extenders” package
Some 525 trade and business groups, including farm groups, urged Congress to revive four dozen tax breaks that expired on Jan 1, the so-called "tax extenders" package. In a letter, the groups said the tax incentives should be restored as soon as possible. "We urge all members of Congress to work together to extend seamlessly, enhance, or make permanent these important tax provisions this year to provide a necessary bridge to comprehensive tax reform," said the groups.
