If you're self-employed and you use your cellphone and/or internet for business, you can claim the business use of your phone/internet as a tax deduction.

 

As an example if 30 percent of your time on the phone/internet is spent on business, you could legitimately deduct 30 percent of your bill(s). 

 

You would claim this deduction on you schedule C for self employment as an expense.
