Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for looking at this.  What you say makes sense.  The issue on Line 19 other expenses is that I have added approximately a total of $30,000+ furniture, etc. as de minimis safe harbor expenditures.  Line 20 on my printout is $54,678 which includes the de minimis safe harbor purchases from Line 19 and all the other expenses.  They don't fit into any other category.  I would normally depreciate them but since they meet the requirements for the safe harbor election I wanted to take the expense in the year they were paid.   Instead of taking the asset additions as direct expenses should I just depreciate them since I will lose them otherwise?  What is the best plan to preserve the asset expenditure? And why was the system still allowing the loss since the expenses had exceeded the income?
