Speaker John Boehner told House Republicans on Tuesday he will move to a “Plan B” on the fiscal cliff by having the House vote on legislation to extend tax rates on annual income under $1 million.

The bill would allow tax rates on annual income above $1 million to rise from 35 percent to 39.6 percent.

Boehner announced the plan in a closed-door conference meeting after a flurry of negotiations with President Obama that showed the two sides were moving closer to a deal. Yet differences remain over spending cuts, entitlement reforms, new spending measures demanded by Obama and the president’s request for a hike to the debt limit.

Boehner, who informed the president of his plans for a Plan B in a telephone call Monday night, is not cutting off talks with Obama and told members his Plan B is less than ideal. Republican aides stressed that the talks will continue, but lawmakers said the bill could come to a vote as early as Thursday.
