Wondering if you can claim your computer and cell phone on your taxes? If you purchased a computer or cell phone and use it for business, you may be able to claim a depreciation deduction. Your employer must require you to have the phone or computer as a condition of employment, and you must use them for the convenience of your employer. Be sure to keep a record of the personal and business use of the computer or phone to determine the percentage of business use.
