Your phone and internet expenses should be deducted under your self-employment business. When start entering in the
business information you will enter in the business profile (review this
carefully, the answers you out here will help the program know what else you
need to enter and generate), then move on to the business income. Once you
enter the business income, then you will be taken to the inventory screen, then
expenses, then assets. If you do not have inventory, you can skip this, and
then you will be taken to the expense page
You need to calculate
how much you use your cellphone and internet 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.
