How do I deduct 6 months of my cellphone bill? My company did not reimburse me or provide an office phone.

You will enter the business use portion of your phone bill in TurboTax. So if you used your phone for work 50% of the time, then you can claim 50% of the phone bill as work related expenses. 

Per the IRS, employee business expenses are a limited deduction. You can claim them only if:

• You can itemize deductions, and
• they exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income.

For example, if your adjusted gross income is $150,000, you have to have $3,000 in unreimbursed employee expenses before you can start claiming a deduction. 

To enter Employee Expenses:

• Select "Federal Taxes" on the Tax Timeline
• Select "Deductions & Credits" on the second menu bar
• Click "Check for more tax breaks" then select "Skip to see all breaks"
• Scroll down to "Employment Expenses" and select "Show More"
• Select "Start" next to "Job Expenses for W-2 Income"
