Major equipment purchases can be expensed within limits determined by
the Schedule C income. This is easiest to justify if the item was
purchase for 100% business use. Certain "listed" equipment (which
includes computers and musical equipment) falls within these
limitations.
I recommend that those of you who don't have an accountant use a tax
preparation program such as Turbotax. These typically come with
electronic copies of federal tax guides and reference books.
