At what point can one reasonably assume the tax laws (regulations? codes?) are final for 2008?
December 31, 2007? December 31, 2008? April 15, 2009? or some other date?
Is there a difference between "reasonably certain" and "absolutely certain"?
========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT: While "never" is a bit strong, it's pretty close. Since we cannot sit around forever, we each make assumptions about stability of the tax code and go from there.
