First, the IRS has released mileage rates for 2016. The business rate has decreased from 57.5 cents to 54 cents; the moving and medical rate is decreasing from 23 to 19; and the charitable rate will stay at 14 cents.

While Congress waiting until the end of the year to pass this bill is nothing new, there’s some good news this time around: many provisions will be renewed for multiple years, and a few (including the increased Section 179 deduction) will be made permanent. It’s important to note that this isn’t a done deal, but many Hill watchers expect the bill to be passed in its present form.
