IRS Regs Create Both Compliance Challenges and Tax Saving Opportunities. The IRS has issued new guidance that will have a significant impact on how hotel and restaurant owners capitalize and depreciate assets placed into service. Effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2014, new tangible property regulations regulate the treatment of normal repairs and maintenance versus an improvement to an asset.
Causes of Calcification. Calcification of soft tissue appears to be the method by which the body repairs an internal wound. Calcification usually forms in tissues that have been exposed to injury, surgery, radiation, infection or cysts. The Linus Pauling Institute states that vitamin D toxicity causes an increase in serum calcium levels, which, over time, may lead to calcification of the heart and kidneys.
Quick Answer. The Mayo Clinic cautions that vitamin D toxicity results in hypercalcemia, a build up of calcium in the blood that causes nausea, poor appetite and vomiting. Other symptoms of vitamin D overdose are weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems. Vitamin D toxicity, known as hypervitaminosis D, occurs when people take more than 50,000 international units of vitamin D per day for more than six months. The Mayo Clinic's recommended dietary allowance is 600 IU per day, but they also point out that overdose is relatively rare.
