Can I claim depreciation on my 2017 return for a computer I purchased for investments in early 2016 if I didn't claim it on my 2016 return?

If you have a business and the computer is an asset, you can add it as an asset on this year's return.  When it asks the purchase date, add the date when it was purchased.
