Can you write your cell phone off taxes?

Answer 1

If use of a cell phone is required for your business, it should be deductible. If you also use it for personal business, you need to calculate the percentage of business use and deduct only that portion of the monthly service fee and air-time charges for the business calls.

Answer 2

If you can document legitimate business use of the phone, just like a car only a portion of the phone may be business use and the better the documentation of that use the better to support the percentage of the phone deducted as a business expense. In general you do not want to raise red flags like deducting all of the phone bill when at least some of its use was personal.

Answer 3

If it is used in business - to produce taxable income, yes. Best to do so on the Sched C filed for that business.
