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.
For costs paid or incurred after September 8, 2008, you can deduct a limited amount of start-up and organizational costs. The costs that are not deducted currently can be amortized ratably over a 180-month period. The amortization period starts with the month you begin operating your active trade or business.
