The first question is "Do you have a business?". 

  • If this computer is for personal use, it is not an authorized expense or deduction.
  • Do you have a business? 
    • it would probably be reported on your tax return on a Schedule C. 
    • In this case you may be able to claim the computer as a business asset, and it could be coded as a business asset.  
    • Was this computer purchased primarily for personal use, or is it mostly used for the business?
