Investopedia explains 'Economic Growth And Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 - EGTRRA'

Many of the changes brought about by EGTRRA are scheduled to sunset in 2010. This means that unless new laws are passed to extend these provisions, things will revert to the way they were before EGTRRA. Taxpayers would do well to take advantage of as much of the EGTRRA provisions as they can before the provisions sunset.
