If I work from home can I write off internet expenses and business use of home?

Yes, you can.  Pay attention to #13.

To enter Business Expenses in Self-Employed: 

  1. Go to the Business tab. 

  2. Click Continue. 

  3. Select I'll choose what I work on

  4. Click Start or Update by Business Income and Expenses

  5. Click Edit or + Start Another Business

  6. On the First, let's confirm your business name and address, enter ownership, business name, mailing address, and description. 

  7. The next page, Tell us about your business, asks for acquisition and the date. 

  8. Answer the questions on the next pages about any employees, EINs, and business codes. 

  9. Enter the accounting method that you use. 

  10. Enter whether you paid anyone on a 1099. 

  11. Answer Do any of these uncommon situations apply to your business? 

  12. You'll come back to a confirmation page, so you can Edit anything from this page. 

  13. Next, you'll see a menu that has Business Income, Inventory/Cost of Goods Sold, Business Expenses, and Business Assets. 

  14. Visit each one of these sections to enter the information.
