What Does the Economic Stimulus Plan Mean for Taxpayers? Jackson Hewitt Tax Service(R) Explains 

What: Today, the much anticipated American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, more commonly referred to as the Economic Stimulus Plan, was signed into law by President Obama. This bill offers numerous tax breaks that will affect millions of taxpayers' 2009 income tax returns.

Jackson Hewitt Tax Service is available to provide information about what the Economic Stimulus Plan means for individual taxpayers. Among the topics Jackson Hewitt(R) will discuss are:

-- New credits and deductions and the amount of savings that could be realized -- Changes to existing laws, including increased phase-out rates and thresholds -- Tips to determine if you qualify for any of these provisions

In addition, Jackson Hewitt can provide examples of different scenarios demonstrating how the new credits and deductions will affect individual taxpayers' returns based on diverse income levels, marital status, employment status, etc.
