In this Tax and Business Planning alert, we cover key provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the "Act"), which President Obama signed into law on January 2, 2013, permanently extending the current tax rates for individuals earning up to $400,000 (joint filers earning up to $450,000), and which postpones automatic, across-the-board spending cuts for two months. The Act affects several other tax provisions for individuals, businesses, and estates.

In this issue, we address tax planning opportunities resulting from the recent Federal Court of Appeals decision in U.S. v. Quality Stores, Inc., No. 10-1563 (6th Cir., 9/7/2012). This landmark case potentially impacts both workers that have been laid off and businesses that have had to downsize.

In this issue, we address tax increases that will begin January 1, 2013 as a result of the widely publicized Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
