Official Summary

12/2/2010--House agreed to Senate amendment with amendment. Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 - Title I: Middle Class Tax Relief Made Permanent -

(Sec. 101)

Eliminates the general terminating date (i.e., December 31, 2010) of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) with respect to individual income tax rate reductions, tax benefits related to children and adoption, marriage penalty relief, and education tax relief, thus making such tax benefits permanent, subject to limitations based on adjusted gross income thresholds set forth in this Act. Eliminates the terminating date of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 that applies to reductions in tax rates for capital gains and dividend income enacted by that Act, thus making such reductions permanent, subject to limitations based on adjusted gross income thresholds set forth in this Act.

(Sec. 102)

Establishes permanent income tax rate reductions for individual taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is $200,000 or less ($250,000 for married couples filing joint tax returns). Allows individual taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is $200,000 or less ($250,000 for married couples filing joint tax returns):
(1) a permanent exemption from limitations on itemized deductions and personal exemptions;
(2) a permanent 15% tax rate on capital gains and dividend income; and
(3) a permanent increase in the refundable portion of the child tax credit. Makes permanent the increase in the earned income tax credit and the modifications to such credit enacted by EGTRRA. Title II: Expensing by Small Businesses of Certain Depreciable Assets -

(Sec. 201)

Increases to $125,000 the expensing allowance for depreciable business and investment property and to $500,000 the income threshold for the phaseout of such credit. Provides for an annual inflation adjustment to such amounts. Makes permanent the treatment of certain computer software as depreciable property for purposes of the increased expensing allowance.
