I work at a law firm as a clerk, and I would like to purchase the new Blackberry Storm. Is it tax deductible?

It is if your company buys it and gives it to you for business use. It is a deduction for them then, not you, as you are not the one paying.

If you buy it yourself, no, it is a personal expense.

The only thing that you could deduct would be business long distance calls. Since virtually all plans come with long distance calls included, there would be nothing that you could deduct.

Why would you possibly think you can deduct the cost of a cell phone from your taxes? That's a personal expense, the same as any type of electronic gadget you buy. No deduction.

No, not deductible. If you want one, it's your nickel.

It would have to be required by your employer and used solely for business. No calls home. No calls to friends.

bdp1914,

If you use it for business purposes, I would deduct the cost and allocate from )51 percent to 80% business) I would apply that to the cost and
write off the balance under Sec 179 . It becomes an itemized deduction.
You could also do the same thing with the monthly charges.

But keep in mind you have to be able to itemize deductions to take care of this. That is assuming that you are an employee (W-2)

You tell us: why should it be?


jack bauer
What do you do at this law firm? Are you a W-2 of 1099.
If a 199, for sure it will be deductible. As an employee however if you decide to take it as a deduction it would be on schedule A and then on 2106 employee expenses. I would call it telephone expense.
