Tax rules are constantly evolving. Stay informed with our insights.
Between changing tax rates, new tax credits and incentives, legislation responding to challenging economic environments, and more, taxpayers must navigate a rapidly evolving policy landscape. While the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in August 2022 brought fewer tax changes than previously proposed in the Build Back Better Act (BBBA), key tax changes were retained. These changes created sweeping tax credits and incentives for the renewable energy industries, businesses supplying that industry, and businesses and individuals using energy-efficient property and vehicles. Additional tax changes impacted large and public corporations, pass-through business owners, IRS funding, and other enhancements to tax rules.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the Infrastructure Act) was another change for businesses and taxpayers. Passed in 2021, the Infrastructure Act provided funding for national infrastructure projects and included notable tax changes, such as the early expiration of the employee retention credit (ERC).

Key tax legislation and policies affecting taxpayers
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law on Aug. 16, 2022. The tax items in the IRA include:
- Taxes impacting very large or publicly traded corporations, such as the book minimum tax and excise tax on corporate stock buybacks.
- Substantial energy-related tax credits and other incentives for individuals and businesses participating in the green energy sector or using energy-efficient property and vehicles.
- Extension of a loss rule (Section 461(l)) impacting pass-through business owners.
- Increased IRS funding for enforcement and other actions.
- Other enhancements to tax rules.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the Infrastructure Act) was signed into law on Nov. 15, 2021. This bill provides funding for many forms of national infrastructure projects and only includes four tax changes:
- The early expiration of the employee retention credit.
- Form 1099-B-style tax information reporting is extended to include cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
- The rules extending disaster-related tax deadlines are expanded.
- Capital contributions to public utilities from the government for certain infrastructure projects can be received tax-free.
