A computer is a capital expense. This means that, even if you are able to deduct, you generally must depreciate it (deduct a small amount each year, instead of deducted the entire cost at once), unless you take a Section 179 election.

Computers are "listed" property, so they generally do not qualify for Section 179 treatment, and other special rules apply.

Generally, no deduction is allowed for a computer used both for work and for personal purposes, because, like a home phone, you would have it even without the business.

If you have a computer that you use only for work (for example, if you have one computer for work and one for personal use), you should be able to deduct it, but you must follow the depreciation schedules, etc., which may make it more effort than it is worth.

Not if you had it before, for personal use. But, yes. As long as you use it for business purposes you can claim it.

Maybe - you don't give nearly enough info. Are you an employee, or self-employed? What other things do you use the computer for besides work?

Yes. I do.

Yes, if you use computer for business use, then you can take section 179 deduction.

Yes as long as your computer is used for the sole purpose of your work


chalkee_2000
absolutely, but you can only claim part of it since you'll probably use it for more than one tax season.


cupidgirl.
yes if you have the receipt
