Tax breaks in the stimulus bill

I vented my frustration with the stimulus bill yesterday, so today we'll move on to more positive endeavors, like figuring out if there's anything in there that will benefit you. Marketwatch provides a good summary of the bill's provisions (remember, there are actually two versions of the stimulus bill that the House and Senate will be reconciling over the next few days).

I wish I could say there was a lot to get excited about here, but for most readers I suspect the impact will be fairly minimal. AMT tax relief is probably the biggest item for many, but as the article points out, that probably would have been passed anyway without the stimulus bill. Still, there are quite a few narrowly targeted provisions that will be helpful if you happen to be one of the people who qualify, so take a quick look.
