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.
Vitamin D at normal doses usually has no side effects. If you have any unusual effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly. If your doctor has directed you to take this medication, remember that he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Too much vitamin D can cause harmful high calcium levels. Tell your doctor right away if any of these signs of high vitamin D/calcium levels occur: nausea/vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, mental/mood changes, unusual tiredness.
