You can claim any mileage not reimbursed by the agency. This year's federal mileage reimbursement rate is $0.565. My company reimburses $0.40 per mile so I claim 16.5 cents per mile on my taxes. Any supplies you have to buy on your own and possibly a portion of your cell phone bill.

Not unless you can prove you only use the Internet for work and it was a requirement of your employer to obtain in home internet access. This is along the same lines as claiming a home office as a deduction; that is, you must be able to prove that the office space is only used for work purposes and nothing else.

Eh, I kinda doubt that the primary use of your home internet is for work or that you wouldn't have internet if you didn't have this job.

My aunt says she claims a portion of her Internet bill. She sells Avon and she gets to claim a percentage of her bill since she must use it to submit her orders and communicate with some of her customers. So I'm going to ask my accountant

Definitely the percentage approach to the internet/phone/etc.
