Extended Bonus Depreciation

Last year, Congress temporarily increased the amount (50% of the cost of capital investment) that small businesses could write-off for capital expenditures incurred in 2008 to $250,000 and increased the phase-out threshold for 2008 to $800,000. The bill will extend these temporary increases for capital expenditures incurred in 2009. Accordingly, until the end of 2010, small business taxpayers are allowed to write-off up to $125,000 (indexed for inflation) of capital expenditures subject to a phase-out once capital expenditures exceed $500,000 (indexed for inflation). (Div. B, Sec 1202, p. 74)
