Can I write off my internet bill?

If you use your internet for business purposes, you may be able to deduct some or all of your internet bill. This is typically applicable for self-employed individuals or those who use part of their home for business. The IRS allows for the deduction of ordinary and necessary expenses for conducting a trade or business, and internet service can qualify as such an expense. However, if the internet is also used for personal purposes, you can only deduct the percentage used for business. For example, if you use your internet 50% for business and 50% for personal use, you can only deduct 50% of your bill. It's important to keep detailed records to substantiate your deductions in case of an audit.
