  • Is buying a van for my business tomorrow (last day of year) advantageous?

    Posted by Jordan Woodworth on December 31, 2009 at 6:29 am

    My new year’s resolution is to get my business taxes all figured out…but until then I’m wondering, I need to buy a van and have found the perfect one at a local dealership…will buying it in ’09 (so tomorrow will be the day) be advantageous for my taxes, or since I’m not necessarily in any huge rush, should I just wait ’til 2010?

    There is a huge deduction available for 2009. You can take a one-time deduction of up to $250,000. The van could fall into this catagory.

    Here is what look like the deduction Steve mentioned, with a handy calculator. Obviously make sure your CPA does the actual figuring:
