President and Congress reach tentative Agreement on Tax Components Relating to the “Fiscal Cliff”

On December 31, 2012, President Obama and congressional leaders reached tentative agreement on a package of legislative changes to avert the tax aspects of the so-called “fiscal cliff” that would have occurred on January 1, 2013. At the time of the writing of this alert, negotiations are continuing on the possibility of postponing the budget sequester that is scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2013. It is expected that the House and Senate will act on this agreement (in one or two bills) later today or tomorrow. This alert briefly describes the key elements of the emerging tax agreement as well as important policy issues that are not addressed.
