How do I categorize a washing machine for depreciation?

[gringo252]

Turbotax does not have appliances as a depreciation category.

Actually, TurboTax does have appliances as a depreciation category (see screenshot below). 

However, you are probably better off using bonus depreciation which will allow you to expense the asset.

Depreciating a washing machine over 5 years will not make one bit of difference to your tax liability. Since it costs less than $2,500 and is not a permanent physical part of the structure, you can just expense it under safe harbor and be done with it forever.
