1st Phone and Comcast Bundled Services

[MissAnn]

I have Comcast bundled services for Cable, Phone and Internet. My bill does not show a breakup. I know I can't deduct my 1st line....so how do I determine how much to deduct? Thanks!

I assume you are using your cable and internet for your business. Divide the total bill by 3 (to represent the separate cost for cable, phone and internet). Claim the time-space % of cable and internet. Divide the phone portion by the number of phone lines. Disregard the first line as not deductible. Multiply the cost of any other phone lines that you are using in your business by your time-space %.
