On Jan. 2, President Obama signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 into law. The new law, enacted to avert the “fiscal cliff,” preserves the charitable deduction, permanently extends the estate tax and retroactively extends the IRA charitable rollover through 2013. During this webinar, charitable giving expert Robert Sharpe outlines the provisions of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and their potential impact on giving to colleges, universities and independent schools.
