Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@rachelray101 The 'Fair Market Value' is what your computer is worth now, since you bought it a few years ago (what you could sell it for).

 

You will need to determine the % you can deduct.  If you use your computer for an average of  80 hours a week, and 40 of those hours were for business, you can claim 50%, for example. You could keep a log or calendar to determine this. 

 

If you are a W-2 Employee, you can't deduct your computer; only if you are Self-Employed and report Income/Expenses on a Schedule C
