(FOX NEWS) Millions of businesses and individuals could be in luck as the House moves to extend a $45 billion package of expired tax breaks through the end of the year.
Businesses and individuals would be able to claim them on their tax returns this year, but there is no certainty they would have the same luck beyond Dec. 31.
Time is short because the House plans to adjourn for the year next week, and the Senate could as well.
“Let’s see what they send us,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., “and we’ll make a decision then.”
