Figuring out my cell phone usage for my Uber business .

I have one cell phone for personal and for Uber .

In year 2024, I did an average of 41 hours 42 minutes , which equal 2502 minutes a week using my cell phone for my Uber business.

My cell phone bill in year 2024 was $2,369. 21.

How do I calculate the percentage usage for my Uber business to get the tax deduction for year 2024?

When you use a cell phone for both personal and business, the amount you deduct depends on how much you are using your phone for both personal and business use.

Are you using them 50% business and 50% personal, or maybe 75% business and 25% personal? Whatever it is, you need to come up with a reasonable percentage for each use and then you can take the percentage of the expense that is related to business use.
