Important Changes for 2001
The following items highlight some changes in the tax law for 2001.
Standard mileage rate.
The standard mileage rate for the cost of operating your car, van,
pickup, or panel truck in 2001 is 34 1/2 cents a mile for
all business miles. See chapter 13.
Marginal production of oil and gas.
The suspension of the taxable income limit on percentage depletion
from the marginal production of oil and natural gas scheduled to
expire for tax years beginning after 1999 has been extended to tax
years beginning before 2002. For more information on marginal
production, see section 613A(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Third party designee.
Beginning with your tax return for 2001, you can check the "Yes"
box in the "Third Party Designee" area of your return to
authorize the IRS to discuss your return with a friend, family member,
or any other person you choose. This allows the IRS to call the person
you identified as your designee to ask any questions that may arise
during the processing of your return. It also allows your designee to
perform certain actions. See your income tax package for details.
