I think my best bet is to just do some work online and compare prices on different sites. I need to find a site with a lot of other cell phone accessories as well. Does anyone have suggestions?

I have been using the internet primarily for Avon lately. I feel this is a deduction I should take advantage of if allowed. Do I just log the times and reasons the internet was used, just like my cell phone? I would really appreciate your input. ~Sara Hello,

I am required to stay within 20minutes of the hospital that I am on call for, this occurs for several days to a week at a time. During that time I stay in a local hotel. I am a surgical resident and live between two cities, my primary employer is about 35 miles from my home and this other site where I am on call is 35 miles the other direction. Is this a deductible expense. It was a huge expense for me and my only other option was to have an apartment for three months. Could you advise or refer me - having a difficult time determining what the "tax home" issue is and how it applies. thanks.

Can I claim the 179 if I use my pc in my home office for on-call pages that require immediate attention for my employer? They would have no problem showing paperwork stating its usage. The employer is a hospital. Thanks In regards to the computer depreciation and home office.

(You mentioned 65%, so take your total bills for the year times .65 and deduct that amount.) If you are ever audited (god forbid), hang onto the monthly statements for proof of the 65% usage. This has happened to me and they were OK with that method.

Her phone is used mostly for work, I would say over 65% of her usage is work related. It sounds like she could write off the depreciation of the phone, but what about the monthly subscription costs? Is there any way to write that off? My wife has a traveling speech therapy job. Her phone is used mostly for work, I would say over 65% of her usage is work related.
