Amounts on any tax return are for the entire year. If you bought it on 2/1/20 and paid $1000 on that date for your asset, enter that amount.

Thank you. It just confused me because it was asking to enter the amount for equipment and when I acquired it. But my thing was, I bought equipment the whole year.  And it only allows you to enter one date. I put the date I started the business but that is not accurate to say I bought $$$ that day. I wondering if that's ok

It doesn't matter if you put the charge on a credit card and pay it off over time or have some other arrangement where you have to pay it off, it still counts as a purchase on the day you "bought" it.
