 Equipment Purchasing
A practice that invests in “capital equipment”—dental equipment, practice management systems Digital imaging systems—probably prefer to deduct the cost in a single tax year, rather than a little at a time over multiple years. Federal tax law allows you do this, under tax code Section 179—within  certain dollar limits.

The 2007 limit is $112,000! After that amount normal depreciation schedules for remaining balances apply. Capital-equipment expensing is limited once fixed-asset additions for the year exceed $410,000.
