Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act's Impact on the ERC and Crypto Reporting | Bennett Thrasher Skip to main content

On November 5, 2021, the US House passed the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684) with a 228-206 vote. The US Senate passed the same version of the bill on August 10, 2021, and the bill was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021.
