Audio tax write-off


Hello,

I have a company that produces documentaries and podcasts on personal and commercial histories. I have needed to acquire computer equipment to do my work, and I've borrowed some equipment from my 2-channel system, such as headphones, as well. My question is, do any of you write off home audio audio acquisitions for your business? Do you know the tax rules on this? Does it have to be branded  as "pro" gear to qualify? Thinking I need a better DAC and studio monitors. If I bought a component called "Schiit," would the tax auditor go "nnnnnnnnnnoooooo?" 

Thanks for your input.

Paul

A tiny two cents worth:
If the home office is a shared space, ie. work time and music enjoyment time, apportion the deduction based on a percentage of work usage➗ Total usage. The time used for work in a shared space determines how much you can legitimately deduct. The decision on whether or not to pursue the deduction is another question...

You own a company and have an accountant. What is the point of asking on this forum? ... Get an accountant and don't listen to anyone here. Including myself.
Excellent counsel. There is much misinformation in this thread.
If Trump only has to pay $750 in tax for 2 years, then I feel it is only right to be able to write off a $10,000 pair of speaker cables. Remember, they make the sound better!
I am NOT Donald J. Trump, but I approved this message anyhoo.
@gs5556 I think I made a mistake in asking for tax advice. This is a fun audio forum. I don't want people to feel resentful about a bummer topic, or that I am trying to get something for free. I was genuinely curious about what other people, who have audio equipment imbricated in their professional lives, do at tax time. I did not assume that situations would be directly comparable, and I know that the tax systems are different in Canada.  A bit regretful I brought it up. I do appreciate the general advice and the time people took. Thank you. 

@scowler1 Here's the sad truth: Home office use as office = 99.5%. Fun listening to my system in that office, after hours, as it were = .5%   So perhaps that's the more fundamental problem to address.  

Happy listening everyone!
