Tax Deductibility of Cellphone Expenses

If you use your cellphone for business purposes, you may be able to claim a tax deduction for the business use of your phone. Here are some key points to consider:

• If you are self-employed, you can claim the business use of your phone as a tax deduction. You may deduct a percentage of your phone bill that corresponds to the business use of your phone [3].
• If you are an employee, you may be able to claim depreciation on your phone as an unreimbursed business expense if you use it regularly for your job and it is a common business practice. However, starting from 2018, unreimbursed employee expenses are no longer deductible [3].
• Cellphone depreciation rules have changed, allowing for a shorter depreciation period and bonus depreciation in certain cases [3].
• If your employer provides you with a cellphone for business purposes, the personal use of the phone may be considered a fringe benefit and could potentially increase your taxable income [3].
