Phone case and screen protector

$20-$80

Is a Phone Case and Screen Protector Tax Deductible?

Short answer: Yes for the business-use share: Phone case and screen protector used for work is deductible, and it can usually be written off in year one.

Items up to $2,500 can be expensed under the de minimis safe harbor (Section 179 or bonus depreciation covers pricier gear). Split personal use and keep the receipt.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
