The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has provisions pertinent to many taxpayers. This course focuses on the IRA tax provisions most relevant to individuals and small businesses including energy credits for homes and vehicles, expanded availability of the Premium Tax Credit for health insurance, and increased research credit for start-up businesses. Comparisons to the Build Back Better Act passed in the House in November 2021 and the President's tax proposals are also noted along with what additional tax changes we might see this year from Congress.
