Can I deduct buying. A shipping container to use as storage for business

Yes, it's deductible if you use it exclusively for business purposes.  If over $2,500 enter it as an Asset.  Otherwise, you can write in a line item and the amount as Other Miscellaneous Business Expense

How to get to that area  While inside the software and working on your return, type Schedule C in the Search at the top of the screen (you may see a magnifying glass there).  There will be a popup that says Jump to Schedule C.  Select that to get to the general area. 

  • Business Income and Expenses
  • select Edit next to your business (if it is there)
  • scroll to Business Expenses (or Business Assets)
  • then, Other Common Business Expenses
  • select that, then on the next screen you will see categories and can choose Other Miscellaneous Expenses

After selecting Other Miscellaneous Business Expenses, you will be able to type a description and the amount.
