Deducting Netflix/cable/etc?

[SilverSabre25]

we have Netflix and stream shows for the kiddos several times a week, or watch things DVR'd from the cable. Are Netflix and cable deductible?

YES! I have netflix and 99% of the use is for DC, so I am using the 99% business use write off amount. Netflixkeeps a log of what you are watching, so it's easy to have records to show what you are using it for. Cable though, just use your t/sp % because there is no way really of showing that u use it more for DC unless you wanted to create a log and who has time to do that?
