No mention on what these extended income tax breaks are , or who gets effected ? What we do know is that there is a 2 % social security tax coming down the toilet in Feb.

Now I will assume , which is always a bad thing
The tax hike is in the form of social security 2% tax holiday that was not renewed. Me thinks the income tax hit will only come at the end of the year , when you apply for deductions , like claiming for interest rates yada yada ? ?
