Understanding Your Tax‑Year Selection (Important IRS Rules)
When requesting your Safe Harbor Packet, please select only one tax year per submission. IRS rules require different timing and documentation depending on the year you choose:
✔ If you select 2025
- You cannot use our Written Capitalization Policy for 2025 because IRS rules require written procedures to be in place on the first day of the tax year.
- You can still file the Safe Harbor Election Statement with your 2025 federal tax return to expense qualifying purchases under the de minimis rules.
- This option is for clients who want to ensure proper filing for the 2025 return but understand that the policy itself cannot be applied retroactively.
✔ If you select 2026
- You will receive a fully effective Safe Harbor Packet, including the Written Capitalization Policy, because it will be valid for the upcoming tax year.
- Your policy will be compliant for January 1, 2026, and you can use the $2,500 or $5,000 threshold (or a customized threshold if selected).
- This is the most common choice for businesses preparing ahead of time.
✔ If you select 2027
- This option is for clients planning well in advance.
- We will not charge your card or process your order until after November 2026, when IRS updates and tax‑code changes for 2027 are confirmed.
- You will be contacted before year‑end 2026 to finalize your packet and threshold selection.
✔ Different Thresholds Each Year
You may choose different capitalization thresholds for different tax years (e.g., $2,500 for 2026 and $5,000 for 2027).
Because of this, each tax year requires its own submission, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
