INTRODUCTION 

This document,1

 prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation, provides a 

listing of Federal tax provisions (other than those providing time-limited transition relief after the 

repeal of an underlying rule) that are currently scheduled to expire in 2006-2020 (with references 

to the applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or other applicable law). 

Expiring Federal tax provisions providing temporary disaster relief are separately listed in Part II 

of the document. 

For purposes of compiling this list, the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation 

considers a provision to be expiring if, at some statutorily specified date, the provision expires 

completely or reverts to the law in effect before the present-law version of the provision. Certain 

provisions terminate on dates that refer to a taxpayer’s taxable year and not a calendar year. For 

these provisions, the expiration dates listed in this document apply with respect to calendar year 

taxpayers. The expiration dates of such provisions may differ, however, with respect to fiscal 

year taxpayers or taxpayers with short taxable years.
