Small Business expensing was enhanced early this calendar year when The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 increased the amount available as a first-year deduction for the purchase of new or used business equipment to $500,000.  This new limit applies to both 2013 and retroactively to 2012.  The investment limit of total purchases is $2,000,000.  The new law also extends 50% bonus depreciation through 2013.
