Potential Positive Impacts for People

Permanent Tax Credit Extension: Section 2(a)(1) changes the expiration of the new markets tax credit so that it applies to "each calendar year thereafter" rather than just through 2025, which provides long-term continuity for the credit.
-
Inflation Adjustments: Section 2(b) allows the dollar amount of the credit to increase based on a cost-of-living adjustment for calendar years beginning after 2025, ensuring the credit value keeps up with inflation.
-
Alternative Minimum Tax Relief: Section 2(c) amends the code to include the credit determined under section 45D in certain tax relief provisions, specifically regarding qualified equity investments made after December 31, 2024.
