Small Business Jobs & Credit Act 2010

On September 27, 2010, Obama signed the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 (H.R. 5297) into law. This legislation covers issues from increasing small business owners' access to capital and promoting exports to a new, one-year tax deduction for sole proprietors on healthcare costs on payroll taxes. This tax break is particularly significant for the 23 million self-employed individuals in America.

The National Association for the Self Employed (NASE) has produced several documents detailing the significant points of this legislation, particularly regarding the self-employed.
