Can I write off a set of gaming speakers and monitor for my home office

To deduct gaming speakers and a monitor as a business expense, they must be used exclusively for business activities. If you use these items for personal entertainment or gaming, you cannot deduct the full cost. However, if you use them primarily for business, such as video conferencing or editing work, you may deduct the business-use portion. For example, if you use the monitor 70% of the time for business and 30% for personal use, you can deduct 70% of the cost. It's essential to maintain records demonstrating business use, such as a log of usage times.
