& I live in the U.S. What are the requirements by the IRS to be able to claim all or part of the bill on my taxes?
Thanks

1. You must itemize deductions. If you don't, it's not worth claiming.
2. The business portion is a legitimate deduction if it is not reimbursed by your employer. File Form 2106 and Schedule A with your Form 1040 tax return .

If this is your only phone, the monthly charges are not deductible. If you are billed by the call, and can separate out the business calls, those charges are deductible.
If this is your second phone line, then you may take the proportion of the bill that is used for business and deduct that.
Keep excellent records for phones that are used both for personal and business purposes, as cell phone charges are routinely scrutinized.
It would be better to purchase a cell phone which is used only for business. If that is not your only phone, you could deduct that in full.

that's definately no longer rather legal on the small company point. tell them to have the corporate placed this mandate in writing so as that they are able to work out for sure what the hot rule is. till the worker has signed some form of finished disclosure contract and the corporate has some valid reason to suspect a breach of confidentiality then the corporate can no longer punish the worker for non-compliance. the employees ideal to privateness finally trumps the employers rights yet whilst there's a valid reason to suspect a breach of settlement, the corporate can hearth the worker for refusal of this coverage. If no such finished disclosure contract exists then the worker is under no requirement to abide via this new coverage and if the corporate fires the worker for no longer following it then the worker has a valid unfair dismissal case that they might sue the corporate with.

If your employer recognizes this as true then you may claim.Some companies pay half the phone bill so you might want to ask your employer if they are willing to do so.
