Does anyone here own this particular monitor?

I'm super close to dropping the cash on it, but it'd mostly be for work. Trying to game in 21:9 is still shitty with lots of games not even supporting it, and getting a stable 60-100fps on a single 980ti is pretty rough, so kinda feels best to wait another year for a 1080ti and some price drops, cause 1300$ is a kick in the pants.

I could never justify a 1300 monitor if it would mostly be for work

By making it "mostly" for work, you can write it off on your taxes.

I looked in to that last year as I worked from home like 85% of the, even adding up % of rent/utilities and everything I spend on tech it was still less than taking the personal standard deduction, so meh.

That was rhe worst review I've ever watched. Couldn't understand a fucking word she said

How do I do this, by the way?

You need to have a room in your house that is considered solely a working office I believe and then write it off when you do your taxes saying it is 100% used for your work. That's the tldr version.

If you're a student and working hourly you may not be itemizing your deductions though.

You can do it in Turbotax, but it replaces the individual standard deduction, so your expenses need to be crazy high for it to win out. You basically make your home office a % of the square footage of where you live then get to take that % from rent, electric, heating, internet, then throw in other mostly related computer shit and deduct the total. The standard individual deduction is like 6500? 7k? or something like that though so it'd take a lot to beat that number unless you lie big about the size of your home office.

I'm in a one bedroom apartment and my "office" is basically half of my living room and came out to like just under 30% or something and even that wasn't enough to replace the normal deduction.

Yea if you're just doing a single person file as like a renter with a job, it's worthless.

A democrat's solution would be to just buy more to get to your standard deduction, amirite?!?!

Mist should get to claim head of household deduction too

You only get to file as head of household if you have actual dependents (kids or invalids or whatever), otherwise you still have to just file as single regardless no?

Just got word my 1070 is ready. My body is ready.

How are you going to depreciate that bad boy?

Shipping out my 970 tomorrow-ish, then I guess it'll be a couple weeks or so until the 1070 gets sent back.

When are they in stores? I want an EVGA 1070 that's not the shitty founder's edition.
