WASHINGTON, D.C., April 17, 2012 – Today is tax day, and our nation's biggest job creators - small businesses - continue to be hampered by uncertainty in the tax code and the threat of an increased tax burden next year. Among the biggest issues causing uncertainty are the ever-changing expiration and renewal of so-called tax extenders and the threat of increased tax rates next January.
