Today, the House passed H.R. 636 -- America's Small Business Tax Relief Act -- which included 2 provisions from U.S. Congressman Dave Reichert (R-WA) to make permanent two tax provisions proven to foster growth on Main Street. These provisions specifically impact S Corporations and increase the ability of these small businesses to invest, hire and expand. The provisions were introduced as H.R. 629 and 630 and were included in today's tax legislation package.

Reichert applauded the House passage saying, "This bill, and the provisions I introduced with Congressman Kind, will significantly help small businesses access their capital and provide much-needed certainty, so that they can be successful and grow. S corporations are proven job creators and I am pleased that my House colleagues have recognized the need to make sure the tax code helps rather than hinders them as they support jobs and families all across this country."
