If you are an active person, chances are you do not need a protein supplement and using one will be counterproductive because of the extra calories (remember, 1 gram of protein provides as many kilocalories as 1 gram of sugar!). Athletes and vegetarians are special populations that may require supplements.
Amortization expense is a non-cash expense. Therefore, like all non-cash expenses, it will be added to the net income when drafting an indirect cash flow statement. The same applies to depreciation of physical assets, as well other non-cash expenditures, such as increases in payables and accumulated interest expenses.
To figure any gain that must be reported as ordinary income, you must keep permanent records of the facts necessary to figure the depreciation or amortization allowed or allowable on your property. For more information on depreciation recapture, see chapter 3 of Pub. 544. Also see Pub. 946.
