Course # 205676 | by Van Der Aa Tax Ed, LLC
What you will learn
  • Identify the latest legislation and regulations regarding depreciation and capitalizing business assets.

This course addresses the latest tax legislation impacting depreciation and capitalization of business assets, including Section 179 and 168(k) deductions, and explores proper planning and potential pitfalls.

Basic working knowledge of tax depreciation.

None
