    Do you use your personal cellphone for work or do you have a second phone for company and customers?

    Personal, no need for a 2nd phone. Figure out a believable % of the time it's used for business and deduct that percentage of your phone bill. If you do buy a second phone you can write off the whole bill. It really doesn't add up to much, but it's something.

    Company. Last thing I want is customers calling my personal number when I'm off work.

    I have two cellphones. One personal and one that's extra personal (cue 70's porn music)

    Carry a second cell phone and agent Schrader will be investigating you for producing 99+ pure crystal meth in New Mexico!

    I'm told two lines are needed, one for business, one for personal. I can't write off my personal on taxes, only business and in the event of an audit, phone records will be checked.
