Senate panel approves new IRAs and home credit
A bipartisan Senate Finance Committee measure would restore tax deductible Individual Retirement Accounts for workers and provide a $2500 credit for first time home buyers through year end. It also aims to spur jobs in inner cities and rural areas while trimming some taxes by over 30 billion dollars across five years. The plan, backed by Senate leaders, awaits possible action next week as negotiators reconcile with a House version.
