I work private duty, and there is no land line service in the home. Also, on occasion, I do outing with the patient who, although is generally stable, has a trach and congenital disorders. In an emergency, my only way to call for help is to use my personal cell. Can the cell be deducted at tax-time?
Not speaking from a nursing perspective but as someone who is self employed.
You want to deduct your cell over ONE or a few potential phone calls for that ONE client? I deduct PART of my cell phone bill because I used it weekly and I use a large portion of my data for work. I work from home and spend at least 50%of my time on the phone.
You might have to make more than a few calls to get that deducted, but, you should speak to an accountant or ask for reimbursement from your job.
