Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would usually add it as an asset and depreciate it either over several years or 100% the first year using Section 179.  Or if they are a small amount or won't last more than 1 year you can just expense them 100%. If you want to expense an item and don't see a spot for it you can always put it under Other Misc. Expenses.  You need to upgrade to Premium or the Self Employed version to enter business expenses and depreciation.
