WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress may extend some tax cuts that are due to diminish at year’s end, including new child tax credits and a bracket expansion that lowered taxes for wage earners. But lawmakers have concluded that making all of President Bush’s tax cuts permanent will have to wait until after the fall election.
The reductions passed in 2001 and 2003 are to go away entirely in 2011. Some will shrink on Jan. 1, 2005. President Bush renewed calls in his State of the Union address to make all of the cuts permanent this year.
