Can I include my entire year of cell phone costs in my personal business expenses if I only operated the business for 4 months?

I ran a personal business Jan - April 2024, in NV. In my business expenses, can I include my monthly cell phone cost for all of 2024 (Jan - Dec), or can I only include my cell phone costs for the months I operated my business (Jan- April)? Thank you!

You can only deduct the cost that applies to the business use of your cellphone for the months you operated your business.

You can enter the cell phone costs for the months that you used the phone for business.
