For a business, it’s a fixed asset.
It is a fixed asset.
You can go for section 179 deduction. Section 179 is not allowed for purchases related to rental property. IRS Publication 946: How to Depreciate Property?
It really depends on the cost. While it is technically “furniture and fixtures”, you wouldn’t waste your time depreciating a $15 waste basket. If you buy 25 $15 waste baskets, though, then you’d capitalize them. Most practices have a “rule of thumb” (an amount they compare against) to determine if they expense or capitalize.
In the practical world, your “rule of thumb” is around $100; under and you expense, over and you capitalize. Though some firms might go higher.
