When you purchase lower-cost assets for your business, you might be able to write off the amount on your tax return to simplify your bookkeeping and taxes. A fun shortcut to help you with tax deductions for fixed assets is called the de minimis safe harbor election. The IRS has guidance in place that determines whether the amount you pay for tangible assets would be considered an amount too small in the eyes of the law. If it is, you may take that amount as a tax deduction, also known as a tax write-off.

We’ll discuss fixed assets, so you know what purchases are acceptable under the de minimis rule; capitalization, so you know how the de minimis rule bypasses it; and the maximum amounts you can spend to stay within the de minimis safe harbor.

Our economy has had quite the journey the last few years, and for many professionals that may have entered the workforce during Covid-19 shutdowns, travel might be a newer part of the job description. Even airports seem like they can’t quite get the hang of it (ask me sometime about my trip to Orlando and the missing checked bag that was waiting on my step when I got home a week later).

That being said, I have worked on hacking the airport travel experience lately (no more missing bags for me!) and wanted to provide my tips for a smooth journey, whether you are new to business travel, or you are, like me, learning to travel in a world full of oopsies as we get used to semi-normalcy again.
