Just wondering if my cell phone bill would be deductible as I use that to contact my daycare parents. I receive calls to my home phone from people inquiring about daycare but for communication between myself and my daycare families is 99% by my cell phone. Would I be able to deduct this or not?

Originally posted by TomCopeland View PostYou can't deduct the first telephone line into your home (land line or cell phone). You can deduct the business portion of a second (or third) phone line into your home. If your cell phone is the first line - zero deduction. If it's the second line - 99% deductible.

I think in the case where you have both a land line and a cell phone it depends on which one is used for personal and business. If you have a home line (land-line) and a cell phone and your family calls you on your cell phone but your home phone is used for business (100%) then you can deduct the full cost of the home phone. But if you use both the land line and the cell phone for business and personal use then you can claim one of them by time/space%. The line that your DC families use most often to contact you would be the line that you deduct. At least that's how I understand it so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I am better off deducting the home phone then since its almost used only for daycare, where as the cell really is personal execpt when texting parents"God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.'"
Acts 13:22
