From what I've read here on AnswerXchange, it is apparently okay for a mechanic to enter a total amount for deducting tool purchases (as opposed to entering individual tools/receipts), but what should be entered as the "Date purchased or acquired" in TurboTax? It appears I could either use an arbitrary date or possibly leave it blank. Thanks in advance.
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Try entering "various." If that doesn't work pick the date when you spent the most money on tools.
