Deduction for hardware bought for another business

I bought several laptops and other office hardware for another business, how do i deducted? I was doing IT support, they asked my to buy them computer equipment and other hardware for their office. They included the expense in the 1099NEC form i got from them. How do I deduct them on Turbotax?

    On your Schedule C for the 1099-NEC. Since this was actually a reimbursement of your expense you can simply enter an expense for supplies or use the Other/Miscellaneous expense category to remove this from your actual income.
