The U.S. Small Business Administration welcomes you to this new resource center, which connects America’s entrepreneurs with tax management tools and strategies to maximize savings from the 2008 Economic Stimulus Package.

This web page contains three resources. 

  • A fact sheet,
    Highlights of the tax benefits from the 2008 Economic Stimulus Package.
  • A depreciation calculator
    Provides an estimate of the first year depreciation available under the provisions of the Stimulus Package.
  • On-line seminar

These resources should help small businesses take advantage of the Stimulus Package.  However, because there are exceptions and additional requirements, we encourage you to contact your tax advisor to determine exactly how the provisions and implementing tax code of the Economic Stimulus Package of 2008 apply to your business.  Also, you may refer to the Internal Revenue Service website:
