If you expect it last for more than 1 year, you will need to depreciate it on your Schedule C.

The software will let you know the options you have for depreciating it, sometimes you can elect to depreciate the entire amount the first year you put an asset into service.

Schedule C implies that you are the only member (owner) of your LLC. If there is another member you can't do a schedule C.

You enter it as a business asset during the business interview. TT will ask you about it including date put into service (might not be date of purchase), cost, etc.
