I use my cell phone for work. Can I deduct the monthly bill?

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.
