Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your inventory would be the finished art and the materials used directly in creating your art ($862.79 + 716.31 = $1,579.10).  The other items you mention (work lamp, etc.) are considered expenses.  Larger purchases (usually more than $2,500), which last more than one year, would be considered assets and should be depreciated over time.  Examples include:

  • Cameras & lenses
  • Computer, tablet
  • Flash and lighting equipment
  • Software (CRM, photo editing, etc.)

As you go through the interview, TurboTax will ask you about your expenses and assets.

 

NOTE:  If you are using the online version of TurboTax Deluxe, you will be asked to upgrade to the Self-Employed version in order to enter your expenses.
