![]() RobertR237 wrote: wrote in message glegroups.com... So much has been said about tax writeoff for certified new plane purchases. Any possibility for homebuilts? When the kit is purchased? When completed and registered? Business use of a homebuilt is rather limited, so the rest of the questions are moot. Still, assuming you could find a business use, it is when the airplane is placed in service. You could write it off for business if you were using it to commute on business but look for a hardnosed audit. What do you mean, commute on business? If you mean commuting to work, then that doesn't count. If you meaning flying for business purposes, that isn't called commuting. Matt I know of several people who "commute" to work using their planes. It doesn't have to mean that you have an office job that you commute to, I could have used a plane to commute to work in Dallas from Houston for the last years and could have written off the expenses as ligitimate business expense since the distance is over the 50 mile limit. What 50 mile limit? I've never read or heard about any limit for commuting to work. Can you reference the tax code section that allows this? Matt Sorry, you are right, I was confusing a moving expense limit. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

You had me salivating there for a minute! :-) I was hoping there was some deep, dark exception in the tax code that I wasn't aware of... Matt |
