Hi Karen,  
Two messages our taxpayers might be interested in hearing about ~ 
One: 
As you may know, the exclusion under section 139B for 
qualified emergency responders expired with calendar year 2010. 
For details: 
(http://www.irs.gov/govt/fslg/article/0,,id=234154,00.html) 


However, confusion remains, partly because the main text of Publication 15-B, page 21, describes the exclusion in detail but does not indicate that the provision expired. 
There is a caution at the beginning of the publication about pending legislation, with a link to a corrections page at http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=233585,00.html. Please follow this link and disregard the text on page 21 of Publication 15-B concerning the Qualified Emergency Responders.

Two: 
On a different topic, we are looking forward to participation among our State and Local Government entities at the upcoming Webinar January 27th to learn ~ 
•       What is Section 218 and why is it important to government employers and employees? 
•       Legislative history of Section 218 
•       Basic concepts of Section 218 
•       To what government entities does Section 218 apply? 
•       What services are excluded from Section 218? 
•       Examples of potential Section 218 compliance issues. 
•       FSLG Compliance Self-Assessment Tool 
Open the attached flyer for details ~ Continuing Education Credits are available!
