	American Economic Stimulus Acts May Save You Money If Used Now The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law on Feb 17, 2009 --otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill. This also extended the 2008 Economic Stimulus Act of 2008. If used now, you may save money. The Government is allowing some businesses to expense $250,000.00 in equipment purchases so long as their annual purchase expenditure for equipment is less than $800,000.00. The opportunity to expense this much equipment in one year rather than depreciate it over many years could save eligible companies a lot of money. See Deduction Increases-Section 179 » See Example of Savings » Take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity. It may make financial sense for you to start that project now rather than later. Check with your tax adviser(s) and Learn More Here » to see if your business qualifies.
