First of all. Thank you to whoever answers my question. I
suspect it is a VERY easy one to answer (but not for me!)

I am a computer consultant. Sometimes I'll go to my
customers offices. Sometimes I install computers.
Sometimes I buy software for those computers. If the price
of such software is low, I don't bother to ask the customer
to pay for it.

In other words, I sometimes buy software for my customers
and don't get reimbursed.

1. Is this deductible?
2. Where on Schedule C do I list such expenditures.

Thank you.
