Summary

This is a brief list of tax laws changes which became effective on January 1, 2002.
This list does not include inflation adjustments which occur because of administrative
adjustments, unless they took effect because of a statutory change with a December 31,
2001 or January 1, 2002 effective date. For a complete listing of those administratively
adjusted items, see IRS Revenue Procedure 2001-59, 2001-52 IRB 1, dated December
11, 2001. This list also excludes tax provisions expiring in 2002 and most conforming
amendments, e.g., changes to credit ordering rules when a credit is amended, or changes
to withholding rules when certain income is made tax-exempt.
The first part of this report is a listing of the tax changes which were enacted during
2001 and effective at the beginning of 2002. The changes are listed under the statute
which enacted the change by Internal Revenue Code section. Following the changes
enacted in 2001 is a listing of previously enacted tax changes which became effective on
