Can I deduct an air conditioner, air filter and back pillow for my home office from my taxes for my business?

truelori asked:


I work at home, and I take the home office deduction. I have a separate room that is my regular office space used exclusively as an office, so that is not the question.

I’m just sure if these are particular items I would be able to deduct. I bought a back pillow from the chiropractor for my typing chair, and I need to buy an air filter for this horrible allergy season and an air conditioner for the home offfice. Are these expenses I can deduct since they will only be used in the home office? Do I need to depreciate them?

When depreciating, is there a minimum dollar amount? The back pillow was only 25 bucks. If I don’t depreciate it, what category would that be?

Thanks for any information!! I have looked up a lot of info on this but I’m just not sure about these items.
As I said, my home office is my regular place of business. I do everything from here on the computer. That’s it.

I think I read somewhere air conditioning is not applicable to Section 179. And I also don’t know how the air filter would figure into that or if it’s deductible.

      For the air conditioner would have to be deducted in the home just because you use of your primary place where you regularly meet with customers the home just because.
      An expense the year purchased.
      An expense the room only for 179 deduction it may qualify for the year purchased.
