Hi, if I received a 1099-MISC box 7 non employee comp filled out, for a workshop I taught I understand I have to claim this as self employment income on schedule c. Even though a teacher full time taught a few weeks worth of classes.

Can I take the laptop I purchased as sec 179 deduction? It was not used over 50 percent business ( workshop was only for a month or so) but it was used specifically in the class I taught. Thanks!
