All of the changes discussed in this publication resulted from the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002. This publication highlights tax law changes that took effect retroactively for 2001 and others that take effect in 2002 and later years. The chapters are divided into separate sections based on when the changes take effect.
For example, this publication covers the following topics.
-
Tax benefits for the area of New York City damaged in terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
-
New deduction available for educator expenses.

Limit on the use of the non-accrual experience method of accounting.
