In your case, being that it is such a small amount, expense it in one year. Otherwise you will have to depreciate the cost over three years.

Thank you!  Do I list it as a Business Asset and expense under section 179 or would I list as an Office Expense, like office supplies?

You could actually do it either way but I would list it as an office expense, it's easier and you obtain the same result.
