Is Tax Deductible Printer Expense Required for Business?

[pchefinski]

do you have to have a certain $$ amount of business to count things as tax deductible? we need a new printer because I can't stand having to take a number and wait in line to print off PC things at my in-laws house next door. i don't do much printing other than PC stuff, except for the occasional financial paperwork or DH's work-related paperwork. But we do need a printer, so I didn't know if it would be tax-deductible for my business even if I'm not a full-time PCer. Thanks

tax deductionYes, even if you are only doing PC part time you can count it as a deduction. Don't forget the ink, paper as well.

Does anyone know what IRS Publication explains about business tax deductions? I would love to order it and srart reading up. I always do my own taxes and efile, but have no idea about this.

In the downloads area on Consultant's Corner, PC links to the exact publications you need to help you out. You can deduct office hardware, supplies, postage, mileage, long distance charges, even some Internet charges, food, advertising, etc. The list is long!

I know.. he'll be 2 on Halloween!! It goes by so fast, makes my head spin. He's a little chatterbox, and is too adorable. Has quite the personality. Great to be back here. I know I don't check in too much, but with only doing the biz casually right now, I have gotten so caught up in other things that it ends up pushed off to another time. Maybe this catalog show I just sent out will give me a little boost to do a couple shows a month or something.
Things are going well. We thought DH was just going to get a promotion to his own store as manager, but it didn't go through. There was a lot of talk and then nothing. He just got passed over. It's very disappointing, but his boss has said that if he didn't get this store, they'll push to get him one after the holidays. We were depending on his assistant manager holiday overtime pay for Christmas, but the new company doesn't do holiday overtime. It's okay though. He'll spend more time at home with Elijah and I b'c he'll only be working normal hours, and though we won't have the $ we had last year for Christmas, I have the current catalog show to give us some. We'll probably keep Christmas super small this year, and focus on Elijah more than each other. It's not about presents anyway. With so much hardship going on in my each of our families, just being with one another is a big enough gift for everyone
