It’s almost impossible to do any work without a phone. That’s why the IRS made them partially taxdeductible for freelancers.

Here’s how to write off your cell phone and some extras — from your workrelated app to your family plan.

There’s just one issue that makes some freelancers and independent contractors reluctant to claim this deduction: they use the same phone for business and personal purposes.

Good news: don’t have to go out and pay for a whole separate iPhone just for your work. You can definitely call clients, check Slack, and manage your professional social accounts on the same phone you use to watch TikToks and update the groupchat — and write it off. All you have to do is find your businessuse percentage. This video will teach you how.

If you’re on a family plan, you can even write off your portion of it. We’ll show you how to do that using an itemized version of your monthly phone bill. Just keep in mind: You can only deduct a portion of your family plan if you pay for it.

Your phonerelated writeoffs don’t stop there. Don’t forget about travelrelated costs, like roaming fees. There are also plenty of other expenses you can deduct, like phone accessories you use for work, and businessrelated apps. Apps to keep up with your business finances, like Keeper Tax, totally count as a writeoff!

No matter which phone expenses you’re writing off, be sure to keep good records. We’ll show you all the information you’ll need to substantiate your writeoffs.
