I have a bunch of photography gear that I need to CCA for the first time ever, and I'm unsure of when to input things in the same class added up together or apart.

I am not sure whether I need to put some things added up all together, or each input separately as it's own (Class 8 for example - laptop and camera value together in the same CCA input here in Turbotax, or put separately). I know it asks for the dates of purchase so is it just by if items were purchases together or not?

It would be better to put them in separately, as lumping them together might cause confusion later on, especially if sell or dispose of something later on.
