I had tkr in March 2009 on my left knee. Everything went terrific. My range of motion was great, I did good in PT, I was a star patient according to my therapist - did everything much sooner than most supposedly. Then in Aug. 2010, my darn knee started hurting.
Costs you can Deduct or Capitalize. Business start-up and organizational costs are generally capital expenditures, which are funds used to acquire assets such as furniture, buildings and machinery. There are certain start-up costs that you can elect to either deduct or capitalize.
You can deduct up to $5,000 of business start-up and organizational costs that you paid or incurred after October 22, 2004. Then, you can amortize any amount over $5,000. If your start-up or organizational costs are more than $50,000, your deduction is reduced by the amount by the excess.So, if you have $55,000 in costs, your deduction is $45,000.here are two amortization periods. For expenses you paid or incurred: 1  Before October 23, 2004, you can choose an amortization period of 60 months or more. 2  After October 22, 2004, the cost is amortized over 180 months.
