Your answer looks tailor made for my question - almost - except that I am looking to do it on Schedule C. Everything seems to be going fine, including questions about $2,500 or less but never the term "safe harbor' and when I get to your Step 11, I see nothing like "You have elected the De Minimis Safe Harbor provision. Proceed with Step 2, below.:"
My only choice for an immediate deduction (other than possibly depreciation which I don't want) is listed as "I'll deduct the full value of the item this year (Take the Safe Harbor) " which just ends up listing it as S179, which is not what I want, because I don't want recapture.
PS Turbotax's line of questioning is very confusing to me as to if this should be under Other Miscellaneous Expenses (under Business Expenses) or under Business Assets, but neither way worked.
Please help soon. I've been struggling with this for 10 hours! Even an enrolled agent on their phone lines can't figure it out. Thanks much.
