On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was signed into law. The rescue plan is designed to restore liquidity to the financial markets. At the same time, it includes some valuable tax incentives covering a wide spectrum of activities. They are designed to put money back into the pockets of taxpayers during these difficult days.

Visit New Tax Law Makes Over 100 Changes - Can You Take Advantage of One? for some of the key incentives.

                        We invite you to discuss them with us in more detail.
