Educational books, office supplies, a printer - can I deduct these?
Hey guys! I have 2 questions:
1. Are you aware if I can deduct the following expenses:
-4 educational books (legal tax guide, how to successfully manage your properties, etc)
-office supplies: files, folders, paper clips, etc
-printer (that I use 85% of the time for filing and paperwork)
2. Where do I deduct this from? Schedule E under "Other" or "Supplies"?
Thank you!
Edita
