What is the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012?
This act addresses the expiration of certain tax provisions centered around what are called the Bush-era tax cuts. It tackles the tax revenue side of a Congressional deficit reduction plan, was passed by the United States Congress on January 1, 2013, and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 2, 2013.
