Yes, if you work from home and are self-employed, you can write off a portion of your internet bill as a part of the home office deduction. You cannot, however, write off your internet costs if you work remotely as an employee.

The deductible portion of your internet bill is based on the percentage of your home that you dedicate to your business. So, if your home office is 150 sq. ft. and your home is 1,500 sq. ft., you can deduct 10% of your internet bill. Alternatively, you can track the exact hours of business usage divided by the total monthly hours as a business percentage, or establish a separate internet connection for 100% business use.

Internet is just one of the many expenses you may be able to write off as part of the home office deduction. Make sure to keep good track of your expenses throughout the year, and don’t wait until April to start thinking about your taxes. Start planning now to get every dollar and deduction you deserve. Find tax services near you and walk in or book now.
