835-20-15-8 Land that is not undergoing activities necessary to get it ready for its intended use is not a qualifying asset. If activities are undertaken for the purpose of developing land for a particular use, the expenditures to acquire the land qualify for interest capitalization while those activities are in progress. The interest cost capitalized on those expenditures is a cost of acquiring the asset that results from those activities. If the resulting asset is a structure, such as a plant or a shopping center, interest capitalized on the land expenditures is part of the acquisition cost of the structure. If the resulting asset is developed land, such as land that is to be sold as developed lots, interest capitalized on the land expenditures is part of the acquisition cost of the developed land.

Code section 197 generally allows taxpayers to deduct the amortization with respect to amortizable intangibles which are stipulated in the section. The amount of the deduction is determined by amortizing the adjusted basis of the intangible over the 15-year period beginning with the month in which the intangible was acquired.

Under this section, it would appear that some amount of Calvin’s computer may be deducted as a portion of the computer is used for business. However, this is a broad section of the tax code. Further research reveals that the computer may be eligible for deduction under different sections. As a capital asset, the computer might be eligible for depreciation. Section 167 states “There shall be allowed as a depreciation deduction a reasonable allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear (including a reasonable allowance for obsolescence) (1) of property used in the trade or business, or (2) of property held for the production of income.” If it is determined that the computer is used in “trade or business” it would be eligible for deduction under the first point. However, Section 179 might also apply to the the property. Property that section 179 applies to is defined in section 179(d)(1) as “ Section 179 property means property which is (i) tangible property… or (ii) computer software…” Calvin's computer falls under both of these categories. Section 179(a) states that “A taxpayer may elect to treat the cost of any section 179 property as an expense which is not chargeable to capital account. Any cost so treated shall be allowed as a deduction for the taxable year in which the section 179 property is

According to the Code Section labeled “Expenses for production of income”, an individual can deduct expenses that are normal and needed during the taxable year that relate to being able to make/collect income, keeping a property in acceptable condition that is held to make income, and the procedure for figuring out anything relating to the amount of taxes owed/overpaid. The discussion of miscellaneous itemized deductions is broken down into three areas. There are certain deductions that have a 2% floor, others that don’t have the floor, and then there are expenses that can’t be deducted at all. Overall the deductions have to do with performing your job better/with better resources, getting a new job, or money spent on items needed in order to do your job. There are other expenses that can be deducted which don’t fit in to those categories, but those are the crux.

Non-cash items are also key sources of evaluating and income statement. A non-cash item is the expenses charged against revenues that did not directly affect cash flow, such as depreciation (Ross, Westerfield, Bradford (2014) p. 29).
