Above the line deduction for qualified higher education expenses extended through 2010;
A credit for low-income taxpayers who make up to $2,000 to qualified retirement savings plans such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s as well as traditional and Roth IRAs through 2009;
Charitable deductions for non-itemizers and itemizers;
Elimination of a $1 billion tax break for oil and gas exploration previously approved by President Bush; and
Tax breaks to help rebuild regions destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
