I'm self-employed with all of my clients meeting me in my home office / studio where I teach. the appearance of my home and property is very important to my brand. I include the lawn weed and feed treatments in my expenses and they're provided by a company I hire for that purpose. I, however, do all of my own mowing and trimming. this year, I purchased new tools (eg a riding mower and weed-whacker) for this purpose. given my business is teaching and not landscaping, for example, am I able to expense the new riding mower and weed-whacker? both are required to keep up the appearance of my home office / property which is visited by my clients.
if I'm able to expense these tools where, where and how is that done? it seems like I should be able to because I could expense someone else doing the mowing. I'm able to do it; just needed to buy the tools. thanks.
