New Repair Regulations

The IRS finally released long-anticipated regulations on when we can deduct repairs and improvements.  The new rules went into effect on January 1, 2014.   On the good side, the IRS will now allow us to immediately deduct items costing $200 or less.  On the not so good side, the new rules are much more complex and generally less favorable than the old rules when a repair or improvement costs more than $200.  If you are planning any repairs or improvements in 2014, please call us to minimize the impact of these new rules.  Elections, policies, and certain forms may need to be filed or created before this year is over.
