In Turbotax Business I am completing my form 1120S, which reports a net loss of of $2800. I'm not able to deduct the purchase of a laser printing of $400 under Section 179 because of the net loss. In Turbotax, how do enter/take the deduction under Section 1.263(a)-1(f) de minimis safe harbor election?

Did you pay yourself a wage?

If so, you can add your wages to the loss when completing line 11 of form 4562.

you expense it (don't treat it as a capital asset) or rather than taking section 179 you take168(k) bonus depreciation which is not limited to business income
