Writing off business expenses on Sch C or 1065

[Erick Berthaldan]

I'd like to start a discussion about writing off business expenses and what can or cannot be written off. Currently I have a corporation (although I haven't done anything with it) and I would like to know if I can purchase new office equipment and then include that as an expense on my tax returns for next year. I would also like to increase my direct mail efforts by outsourcing my direct mail to a company like yellowletters.com. These are all legitimate business expenses but I'm unsure as to whether or not this would go on my schedule C expenses or if I would have to file a 1065 corporate tax return. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
