Working freelance and claiming equipment on your taxes...? - scheduled to file your claim certification forgot
Hello, I am for a work that would be regarded as a freelance cameraman for a local station. They told me to be paid in 1099, not a W-2. My question is, do I need a camera for video production, (maybe the camera and everything you buy with it), then as deductible expenses, and are used under the claim in Appendix C of my 1099 I put in the coming months?
This is the first time I did something like that and would take money from the bank, only to discover that I can not say that my taxes, I do not want it to happen ... If a good soul could help me please? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Your 1099 is a form they give you (and the IRS) to say how much you charge. You do not ask on this form.
You can use the video camera, etc. request, in Annex C which are not present until the end of the year. However, he is entitled to recover all the costs at the same time, unless a valid § 179 election. If the team is not entitled to a § 179 election, or not decided by a section 179 election, then you must deduct depreciation (as a percentage of the cost) into the apparatus, equipment, etc., every year has been deducted in the total. If your computer has the choice requirements of Section 179 and set, remove, and only if the total cost in one year.
The equipment you need to buy ordinary and necessary for the work, you need to consider how) you use your computer (personal best in terms of working hours, etc.
You need a careful recipes.
As others have already noted, when the device is 100% for business, you may be able to in Article 179 and take the full deduction of the first year.
But not for the purchase of new equipment for the "free" internet and some of his expenses ( "Cell count, mileage) will probably not at all deductible.
seems that without the team not in a position to offer the job, which would result in an operating expense
But if you are a part of it for personal purposes, which may reduce the amount
You have to cancel this team, but under 179
