Business expense

In Business expenses I want to list my cell phone and Internet Service expenses in Communications Block, when I enter expenses it shows up as Utilities Expenses when I review my report. What I di to avoid this from happening I just put those expenses in Miscellaneous expenses.

The utilities were automatically calculated in my office expenses. I do not want utilities expenses showing up 2 times in my report.

Can you tell me why this is happening.

If you are reporting your business income and expenses on Schedule C you can enter your Internet Service and cell phone as separate items in Schedule C Part V Other Expenses.

When entering cost of phone, internet, etc; is the entire amount entered or just a portion, say 25%. This is for an independent travel agent.  I do not take home office expenses.

If you do not use the phone and internet 100% for business, you want to prorate for usage.
