The winners of the 2012 elections and the "lame ducks" in Congress who continue in office until 2013 will decide how to address the expiring income tax and Social Security tax cuts and the sunset of several payroll-related benefits. Will there be an extension? Will it be for a portion of the year? Should we expect other administrative burdens?
In addition, regardless of whether or not there is a new administration in Washington, D.C., court challenges could hinder implementation of the Affordable Care Act, even though the Supreme Court upheld the law as fundamentally constitutional earlier this year.
