Which line do they go on Schedule C?  I've seen both utilities and other expenses as answers.  Thanks.

@robertguy51 The categories are somewhat flexible. The most important thing is to keep track of where you put your expenses in case you get audited.

 

TurboTax puts communications expenses under Utilities.
