The Internal Revenue Service has a proposed regulation that will change the extension time for Partnerships, Corporations and Fudiciary Returns from Six Months to Five Months. It makes sense though. Think about it. If you corporate return is on extension till September 15 yet August 15 is the individual extension deadline then what?
This will be in effect for returns due January 1, 2009.

So in a major move, the feds decided to buy the debt in a move to help stimulate the credit crunch.You have to read the press release of the plan here but here below is the article in UsaToday. Here is an excerpt below..
The Federal Reserve, invoking Depression-era power under “unusual and exigent circumstances,” will buy commercial paper, a short-term I.O.U. that companies issue to finance day-to-day operations, such as purchasing supplies or making payrolls.
The $99.4 billion daily market for this crucial short-term financing has virtually dried up. Most investors have become too jittery to buy commercial paper for longer than a couple days.

Let’s look at a timeline of a crisis:
· In 1938, the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) was formed as a government agency designed to fill some gaps in mortgage lending left by the wave of bank defaults in the Great Depression. Fannie Mae could now purchase and sell mortgages to financial institutions that wished to diversify their regional mortgage portfolios.
· In 1968, the Congress, in an effort to get Fannie Mae’s liabilities off the government balance sheet, sold them off to private investors. Fannie Mae, a private company could now also raise money through bond issues (guaranteed by the government) and distribute profits to executives and shareholders. This structure allowed for private profits and public losses.
· In 1970, to deal with regulatory problems in getting mortgage money to California, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) was formed as a government agency.
· In 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act became law. This law was intended to make credit services available to low income individuals and individuals in urban areas.
· In 1989, Freddie Mac was sold to private shareholders. (more…)
