You will need to tell turbo tax the total square footage of your apartment and the square footage of the space that is exclusively used for business. The program will deduct what you can write off based on that percentage.
For your cell phone it depends. You need
to calculate how much you use your cellphone for business and how much you used
for personal use.
For example, lets say
your cell phone bill was $500.00 (used 100% of the time). You calculated that
you used your phone 30% of the time for business and 70% of the time for
personal. So $500.00 multiplied by 30%= $150.00. You can write off $150.00 as a
business expense, and $350.00 would be a personal expense.
