IT consultants-Do you use your own laptop for work?

I think you did the right thing - something about this just sounds wrong.

Good luck.



It's the sort of thing that makes you wonder about the next conflict, as the company is already showing questionable thinking and no willingness to accept responsibility.

In a tighter work/contract market, it's probably a gamble worth taking, but right now there are greener pastures somewhere nearby.

Think about the tax write off! You could buy the laptop you've always wanted. The straight hard core desktop replacement that you wanted, but then the tiny super portable system for travel. Then the iPhone for conferencing...all a nice fat write off.



While you can take a Section 179 deduction today you'll need to pay the IRS later if your business use drops below 100% over the next five years.

And you still need to come up with the 70% of the purchase price which is not tax...
