Extenders ???

Anything on Extenders yet? That would effect 2017?

I wouldn't think so

I think we can pretty well flush the usual extenders that occur on the 11th hour in December. Congress has been spending all of its tax attention on the new bill.

Such things like the eternal bailout of tax devices such as most residential energy credits and mortgage insurance seem to be risen from the dead by Congress forever. Not this time.

There is still a chance with the Extender Bill

From what I read, they have put the extender bill off until the beginning of the year. Some or most of them would affect 2017.

"Lawmakers’ hopes of resolving them as part of the broader tax bill fell flat. And Congress looks likely to leave for the year without addressing them, creating the possibility that they will spend the early part of 2018 handling tax policies for 2017"

Once again, they put things off and we are in the dark for the time being.

Nothing was done with the extenders, so they are gone. ex: No more Residential Energy Credit.
