I am a self employed 1099 worker.  I purchased part of a business last year, is the purchase a write-off, depreciate it?  Or do I keep the record of it and it becomes a cost basis that reduces taxes owed when I eventually sell the business?

    I highly suggest you sit down with a local tax pro to understand what you did and how it should be handled in your books and on the return ... this forum is not the right venue for such a long discussion.
