De Minimis Safe Harbor question

If i elect to use "De Minimis Safe Harbor" 

 

1) Should i write off these assets as expense under Other Expenses Section ?

 

2) Can i choose which asset to use "De Minimis Safe Harbor" ?

 

3) Without AFS, What if some asset less than $2500, and other over $2500. I should write off those under 2500 as expense, and over 2500 as deprecation? right?

 

4) Can i still use 179 for those over 2500, if i use "De Minimis Safe Harbor" for those under 2500?

De Minimis Safe Harbor question

Yes, you can use the DeMinimis Safe Harbor for items under $2,500 and for the rest of your assets you can use Section 179 if they qualify.

  • Note: Effective for taxable years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016, the Internal Revenue Service in Notice 2015-82PDF increased the de minimis safe harbor threshold from $500 to $2500 per invoice or item for taxpayers without applicable financial statements.
