The cost of a new MacBook can be deducted as a business expense if it is used primarily for managing a social media account as part of your business operations. The IRS allows deductions for ordinary and necessary expenses under IRC §162. If the MacBook is used exclusively for business, you can deduct the full cost. However, if it is used for both personal and business purposes, you must allocate the expense based on the percentage of business use. For example, if you use the MacBook 70% for business and 30% for personal use, you can only deduct 70% of the cost. It's crucial to maintain records that substantiate the business use, such as work schedules or logs.
