I'm getting mixed information form my accountants on this and want to
know what everyone else is doing. The basic question is this: Are you
expensing or depreciating the equipment? Equipment being radios (AP

breaks you need now vs. later.

Travis, thanks for your input. I'm really looking for feedback as to
what our industry's standard is. I submit that the IRS does not look
at it as a personal, business choice. I'd rather do it correctly now
than find out from the IRS I'm doing it wrong.

Most companies have a mix. We lease some equipment. This allows for
a monthly right off at 100% of your monthly payment. Long term
investment items like Vehicles, Towers, Property get depreciated. The
length of the depreciation depends on the type of asset. Property /
Buildings fall under
Listen, I'm not trying to be argumentative about this. I've always
believed as Travis that it is your choice. But, the feedback I'm
getting are that things are changing VERY QUICKLY with respect to how
the IRS is viewing issues such as this since our government is in

I figured there was some thing behind your question.. I know , below you
are conveying what a CPA is telling you... but I think there is some

He has to make up for a $1T short-fall at the same time Congress is

All other forms of transport are taxed including cellular.
Wait. DIDs for VOIP will be taxed before 3Q06. Too much
