Many times, when we ask new customers if they know what their depreciation is, they will answer: "Yes, that is when your car loses value." Although this is a type of depreciation, from a tax perspective Seeing does not mean depreciation. Tax-related depreciation refers to the company's purchase of assets [such as computers, vehicles, buildings, or equipment], rather than the purchase of the full cost of the year in which the asset costs will continue for several years.
For example, if you buy a computer for two thousand dollars, you won't deduct $2,000 immediately. You will bear a portion of the deduction for each year for a period of five years. Therefore, computer depreciation is more than five years.
Depreciation is helpful because most companies have less income and more expenses in previous years. Since the company purchases most of the equipment at the beginning of the business, depreciation allows you to extend the deduction to a year in which the company has more revenue and needs to deduct more.
The type of asset you purchase determines the depreciation period. Typical years are 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 15 years, 27.5 years or 39 years. In addition, you can get extra depreciation in the first year of purchasing an asset. This is the depreciation of Section 179. For example, certain types of vehicles can be almost completely depreciated in the first year, and depending on your net income, other equipment can be deducted 100% in the first year. With these types of flexibility, you can set the amount and amount of depreciation to provide you with the best tax savings each year.
For example, if you have an established business and are making a lot of money and buying new equipment, then deducting 100% of the equipment for the year may be beneficial because it offsets your income. Another example is that if you have a lot of surprises every year, then you want to take extra depreciation in the year you buy some equipment to help offset your gains. Other newer businesses, even established businesses that do not have large revenues, have the flexibility to cover equipment costs over an appropriate number of years to share costs and obtain fees from higher-yielding years.
Depreciating your assets can be tricky. There are many rules and many ways to develop strategies for using these rules. It's important to understand tax topics such as depreciation and consult tax professionals to make sure you do things right.
