We are a small family business, an LLC, taxed as a partnership. Some of us were discussing whether or not it is okay to allow occasional personal use of our business printer and our business computer for things other than business. For obvious tax purposes, we do not want to allow even occasional use if this is not right to do so. Both the printer and the computer were expensed 100% for business on our tax return a few years ago. That is why I am thinking it is not okay for either if them to be used at all for anything other than srictly business. There was no allowance made on the tax return for personal use. It is easy and convenient to be able to use it occasionally for personal use, but we want to draw the line where it needs to be drawn, and then stick to it. It is much easier for me to draw a hard line, and say,"No", than it is to try and figure out what might or might not be oaky. That is why I am asking for help from someone who knows. I would rather just get a new printer and computer for the shop, and let the two older ones be for those "personal use" times, if that is what we need to do. Thank you.
