Giving Incentives Pass House, Senate

A measure to make dozens of tax extenders permanent, including three charitable giving incentives, was approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday. The House followed that up this morning by approving a $1.1-trillion year-end spending bill that will fund the federal government through September.

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 passed the House on Thursday by a vote of 318-109 and the spending bill was approved by a 316-113 margin this morning. The Senate then voted 65-33 on a bill that included the tax extenders.
