Exemptions and all else as the law is now, in 2012, but with top rate going to 40 percent. What a coup for the Republicans!. Reported by JULIE PACE and BEN FELLER at Associated Press: See http://www.wvva.com/story/20471309/fiscal-cliff-disputes-remain-as-deadline-nears
On the other hand, CNN reporting no deal as of 1:01 pm eastern. See http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/31/latest-updates-final-fiscal-cliff-scramble/?hpt=hp_t1
We shall see.

Is the exemption no longer inflation-adjusted? The reports seem to say that the exemption will be a static $5M.

No. Take a look at the bill. Makes permanent the changes made at the end of 2010.
