Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would need to allocate between the two.  For example:  You use a computer for both.  For business A you use the computer 45%, business B you use the computer 50% and personal business 5%.  You would enter the computer on the two businesses as follows:

  • Business A - $1000 computer cost used 45% 
  • Business B - $1000 computer cose used 55%

Listing them separately at the correct allocation for each business on their separate Schedule Cs is a cleaner way to present the information.  Also it would make it easier for the IRS to confirm there is no double dipping.
