Can the purchase of a laptop and tax preparation software be deducted on an irrevocable trust tax filing?

In order to file 2020 taxes for an irrevocable Trust, we are required to use TurboTax Business, which only runs on a Windows based platform.
We are a Mac-based family, therefore  needed to purchase both the laptop and turbotax software to file taxes for the Trust. Big expenses. Can they be deducted in TurboTax Business, and if so where/how?

are you going to use the computer for ANYTHING else? 

 

also, be careful,  why was it a requirement to use TT Business? is that stated in the Trust? otherwise, why wasn't it a convenience so that you could avoid paper and pencil?

The laptop will not be used for anything else.  Good point on paper vice TT method of filing.  Is there a paper method anymore?
