"We're here to answer the question can I write off my computer as a tax deduction? Well if, if it's just your personal computer and it's just being used in the home the answer is: no it's not deductible. If you are running a business and you're using your computer for your business it may be deductible. Typically the IRS will allow you to deduct the portion of the computer that you use for business. If it's used 50/50 then obviously if you can document that and show that you're using it for an actual business you can deduct 50% of your computer. The IRS is pretty strict about the co-mingling assets between personal and business use when you go to try to take a deduction. You really need to be able to substantiate your, your usage and show that it is being used for a legitimate business purpose and, and approximately what percentage of the time."
