How to input as an expense, photographs that I take of property's

[David C C]

I'm an Independent Contractor, with 1099's.  I take a lot of photographs as part of the job. Is there a way to input these into TurboTax Deluxe and how and where do I do this?

If you don’t see a spot that fit ps you can enter them as Miscellaneous Expenses ,on schedule C page 2 Part V Other Expenses line 48.  Are you using Online Deluxe or the Desktop installed program?

You can enter 1099NEC or cash Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe  but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to the Premium version.

You can't take any deduction for the value of your time.  You can deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses.  What would that be in this case?  A camera, computer and printer? Ink and paper?  Your cell phone? Internet access?  Travel to locations?

Equipment like cameras and computers can be expensed or treated as assets to be depreciated, based on the rules for those types of property.  If you have equipment that is shared between personal and business use, you must have some reliable written method for determining how you allocate the costs.  Business travel is deductible under the ordinary rules for travel.  What other expenses do think you have?
