Hello All, I need clarification of Bonus Depreciation Rule that expires Dec. 31. I wanted to purchase a
refurbished Macbook Laptop from Apple. According to Tom's article, it must be new but my tax guy thought that a refurbished computer would still count for the bonus. Here is Tom's information from his blog:
"To be eligible for this rule the item you purchase must be new. Computers, cars, and televisions must be used at least 50% of the time in your business for them to be eligible for this rule."

Anyone know for sure? Thanks

I don't think a refurbished computer meets the definition of a new (first time user) computer.
