On New Year’s Eve the Senate passed a bill, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (H.R. 8), that would avert the tax components of the fiscal cliff, and delays for two months the massive spending cuts set to take effect as part of “sequestration.” The House passed that bill late last night by a vote of 257 to 167, and it is now on its way to President Obama for his signature. Here is a quick recap of what the bill will do and what is of interest to the charitable giving community:

On Wednesday, December 5th, over 250 nonprofit and charitable sector leaders will be in Washington, D.C. for “Protect Giving – D.C. Days” to urge members of Congress and their staff to protect the charitable tax deduction during “fiscal cliff” and deficit negotiations.
Participants representing thousands of communities in every state will urge Congress to protect a 100-year-old American tradition of common-sense tax policies that help support critical programs and services on which millions of Americans rely.
We expected this would be an issue for next year during tax reform, but the deduction is on the chopping block right now during the lame duck session. Our representatives need to hear from us how reducing or eliminating the charitable deduction would harm those whom we serve.
If you can’t be in Washington to meet with policymakers we urge you to still participate. Here’s how…
