              Amortization  
              
                    You may be able to amortize and deduct 
                      each year a part of certain capital expenses. Amortization 
                      allows you to recover these expenses similar to straight-line 
                      depreciation. It also allows you to write off expenses that 
                      are not ordinarily deductible.
