I got my first freelance gig! Woohoo! It starts this week and I’ll bill at the end of the job (in January) and they’ll have 30 days to pay. So, I won’t need to do sole-proprietor taxes for 2023, just 2024. However, the job would go MUCH smooth with a new computer.

Does anyone know if I can purchase the computer this year, and deduct it from next year taxes?

Much appreciate any help! I will get someone to do my taxes next year but I need to know this before I purchase. Thank you!
