- 100% Write-Off for Heavy SUVs Used Entirely for Business
- The 2010 Tax Relief Act provides a limited-time 100% bonus depreciation allowance for qualified property. It allows taxpayers that buy a new heavy sports utility vehicle (SUV) and use it entirely for business to write-off the entire purchase price in the placed-in-service year.

- Don’t Forget Your Minimum Required Distribution for 2011
- The IRS does not allow IRA owners to keep funds in a Traditional IRA indefinitely. Eventually, assets must be distributed and taxes paid. If there are no distributions, or if the distributions are not large enough, the IRA owner may have to pay a 50% penalty on the amount not distributed as required. Generally, required distributions begin in the year the IRA owner attains the age of 70½.
