Kathy asked:


I work from home for a business and I use my computer and internet everyday. Well my computer is older and is starting to turn itself off and is basically dying on me and I think has a ton of viruses.We have tried fixing it but it just doesn’t have the memory capabilities I require for the business I work for.Anyways I am going to buy a new computer next month to make my job a little easier,so I was just wondering if I could claim that on my taxes.

Create a video blog…instantly.
