Can I write off office furniture?

Office furniture can be deducted as a business expense if it is used in a business setting. This deduction can be taken as a Section 179 expense, allowing you to deduct the full cost in the year the furniture is placed in service, or it can be depreciated over seven years. The furniture must be used more than 50% for business purposes to qualify. If used in a home office, the office must meet IRS requirements for a dedicated business space.
