Gar,

This one comes up every year at tax time at my office. I work for a company that makes video games. Some of my coworkers claim that they can deduct the cost of video games and consoles that they personally buy saying that it can be claimed as 'research' or 'education' as to what is current to keep them competitive in our field. Most of them don't have kids, so they say they would be the only ones using the console and games. Is this proper? And if so, what are the rules to do so?

Thanks in advance.
