Can You Write Off Personal Phone Bill?
Short answer: No for personal use; only the business share is deductible for self-employed people.
W-2 employees can't deduct it even if used for work.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
