Congress has passed and the President has signed the Small Business and Work Opportunity Tax Act of 2007 which provides tax incentives for small businesses. The act changes the way the IRS will view a joint venture operated by a husband and wife who file a joint return for the tax year. They can elect not to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit should be divided between the spouses according to their respective interests in the business. Each spouse takes into account his or her respective share of these items as if they were attributable to a trade or business conducted by the spouse as a sole proprietor.

There are more additions to the ?kiddie tax.? The ?kiddie tax? will apply to all children under the age of 19 (previously under the age of 18) and children under 24 who are full time students. However, if the earned income of any child over age 17 exceeds half of his or her support, then the ?kiddie tax? will not apply. For this purpose, scholarships are not counted in the support test.
