Can we depreciate or deduct the cost of the furniture? They are over $200 per item and less than $2000 total.
If we can depreciate or deduct these costs, where do I enter it in Turbo Tax?

Thanks!
You can't deduct the furniture because you aren't using it for your business. If daycare children slept on the bed, you could deduct part of the cost of the bed. Same thing with a dresser. But, since you are only using the room for storage you can count the space as part of your time-space % calculation, but you can't deduct any of the furniture.
