Pres Signs Real Estate Tax Credit Extension

I know I am a little late to the party here, but I thought I would wrap up the coverage on this Administration's journey to extend the popular real estate tax credit beyond its November 30th deadline.

If you've missed any of the party up to this point, you can read my previous posts related to HR 3548's passage through Congress. The important part is that the bill reached the President last week and was Johnny Isakson (R-GA) for introducing this important amendment!)

Calling this bill an "extension" seems like a bit of an error. This bill also enhanced the original tax credit and threw in a whole lot of anti-fraud measures as well. I won't relist them, but you can check here for a list of enhancements to the bill (you can also click here).

I will admit, following the progress of this bill was actually fun for a politics junkie like me. Hopefully, there will be other bills in the future that we can look forward to tracking. If there is, or if you want to suggest a bill to follow, let me know in the comments and I will take a look at it.
