IRS COMMUTER BENEFITS SET TO CHANGE
 Heads up! The transit tax benefit of $230/month that was set up under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is set to expire at the end of 2011. The transit tax benefit will revert to $125 in 2012. Check out the IRS website for more info.
Those interested in or affected by this issue may wish to contact one of the commuter groups reviewing this decision. Such groups include the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT) and Commuter Benefits Work for Us.
