President Obama today signed the new small business tax bill that offers accelerated deductions that are aimed to stimulate investment in equipment and grow the economy. The details of the bill are outlined well here. The biggest benefit I see is increased immediate expensing of equipment in 2011 (the prior limit was set at 25,000, and now it is 500,000), the continued increase to the luxury car depreciation limits, and the health insurance deduction for the self employed when figuring self employment taxes.
