Looks like the one in question is about $3600 or so. --173.28.xx.xxx

Isn't this a tool? --172.59.xxx.xx

I would think so - but never sure when you talk about things like this. And because it is over the basic $2500 Safe Harbor thing, I have questions. --173.28.xx.xxx

Watching to see how this plays out. --107.147.xx.xx

His used mower was half the price of a new one. Instead of it being a $5,000 idrive electric, Home Depot has one on sale for $2999. So his price was $1,500. It was used and I already spent $1,000 for a dead one. So my write off would be a total of $2,500. $1,000 instant write off and $2,500 taken over 5 years at $500 per year, or under Section 179, I can expense it as a tool. --45.32.xx.xxx

Wouldn't it go under lawn maintenance expenses? --73.108.xxx.xxx

6x6, we write that sort of specific maintenance off per property where a lawnmower would be more of a tool usable at any property (unless we actually bought it for one property) so more for the business as a whole. Like a table saw or what have you. --173.28.xx.xxx

Why not divide the cost up per property? --73.108.xxx.xxx

Any small engine with carburetor will have issues if keep gasoline with ethanol longer than three months as water will form where engine will not start or run properly. When introduced over 30 years ago ethanol in gasoline vehicles switched to fuel injection where had no issues with ethanol. --216.110.xxx.xxx

I am no CPA, but have been paying one for over 20 years. I have bought several mowers over that time period, no issues always taking the full deduction. In fact, my annual tool bill is high, and never any issues deducting. --66.169.xxx.xxx

We would divide the cost of any such item used or available for use over all the properties, as 6 x 6 mentioned. --75.11.xx.xx

Brad, it’s clear, you don’t know the joy of riding a zero turn mower, smelling the freshly cut grass. Super relaxing, better than driving in traffic in a Porsche. --66.169.xxx.xxx

Pretty sure DH wants one just to say he has one, Brad. --198.54.xxx.xxx

Believe it or not Zero has the right idea.......just the wrong item. The IRS would call you out for tires but the tractor and mower deck could split up the amount paid. Tires are clearly part of the tractor --24.101.xxx.xxx

Hey I was close. --107.147.xx.xx

Another plus of battery operated- so much quieter, which I particularly prefer as often my tenants work second or third shift. --172.59.xx.xx
