their taxable income. For companies purchasing (or leasing - with a

purchasing over $1,050,000 of equipment in 2009. However, companies can
finance purchases over $800,000 with an operating lease and may still be
able to claim this deduction.

Preparation For Success
What resources do you need?
Many times successful business owners advise others
that in order to be successful you will need professional support in
certain areas. No matter who gave such advice, a good CPA is
almost always listed. The reasons why obviously involve bringing
expertise into the day-to-day operation and management of a business as
a resource, not only when absolutely necessary for the annual
preparation of tax returns; which will seldom, if ever, help determine
the success of a business. If you are a business owner, in
selecting and using a CPA, you should fully ask yourself what it is you
want, need or expect.
