Question

w9 Employee writeoffs

I have a W9 employee on my business cell phone account. He and his wife’s phone are on our account and they pay their portion of the phone bill. Can I give them a handwritten receipt to allow him to write his portion off on his own business taxes?

Yes.

 

Please note that you can't deduct the same expenses on your own tax return.
