Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003

The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (JGTRRA) of 2003 expedited the 2001 Bush tax cuts, making them apply retroactively to the 2003 tax year (originally they were meant to go into effect in 2006).  JGTRRA further reduced the capitol gains tax and altered the exemption amount for the Alternative Minimum Tax.
