- Losses over five years can be claimed in 2009.
- Write-offs of investments up to $250,000 can be claimed this year.
- Reduction of estimated tax to 90 percent of the previous year’s filing.
- Depreciation deductions for property purchases will be larger.
- Capital gains, 75 percent exclusion for businesses investments.
