On May 17, President Bush signed the $70 billion Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (TIPRA). The tax bill was designed to provide a short-term solution to the increasing application of the alternative minimum tax and extend for two years, until 2010, the dividend and capital gains tax cuts that were enacted in the 2001 legislation. Also included in the bill were a handful of provisions that significantly impact state and local governments, which are highlighted below.
