It depends.

If you are an employee, you cannot deduct this item as job-related expenses are not deductible.

If you are self-employed and the computer is used for your business and was put in service in 2023, you'll have to amend your 2023 tax return to add it as an asset in your business and depreciate it or deduct it as a section 179 property if it is eligible.

Please read this IRS article for more information.

Please read this TurboTax Help topic on how to amend a prior-year tax return.
