When to use this workbook

Use this equipment home business use record workbook to connect device use, business evidence and allocation question before the next review. Keep the three records distinct so a missing item is visible.

Connect the acquisition or lease to actual business use and operating readiness. Keep purchase cost, financing, mileage and disposition records distinct.

Review checkpoint: Delivery, payment and readiness can be different events. A business-use estimate should be supported by the relevant record rather than inferred from ownership.

For equipment home business use record, start the handoff with the connection between device use and business evidence. Then identify what allocation question still needs to establish. The exported sheet should make that relationship clear without replacing the original documents.

List the person collecting evidence separately from the professional deciding treatment. A blank field is a request for follow-up, not a zero, an approval or a concluded answer. Keep the supporting documents in your agreed secure record system; this public page accepts no document uploads.
