DrShabazz asked:


My work is giving me the opportunity to work from home 1 or 2 days per week. To do that, I would need internet access and a home land-line.

I have a cell phone, so I wouldn’t need a land-line if it wasn’t for this opportunity.

As for internet access, my my apartment complex already has free WiFi in the lobby…so if it wasn’t for this opportunity, I wouldn’t necessarily need my own access. (although with my own access, I’d probably go ahead and get some personal use out of it, instead of going down to the lobby.)

So how do I write this off? I’ve searched for this question on this website, and found that I can write off a percentage based on business use vs. personal use….also it would have to be well documented. So what kind of documentation would be sufficient?
So to clarifiy:

If I get a land line, it would strictly be for business use. (because I already have a cell phone)
