I thought you could deduct the cell phone because of tax language that states that it doesn't have to be a necessity as long as it is useful and common practice in your job. (calling dispatch, mx, etc)
Over the past 8 years I've (my tax guy says so) deducted the GA flying I've done. My tax guy says as long as i have a SEl/Comm and or CFI (current) then it is OK.
Information services are not classified the same as trade tools though. Necessity is weighed if the services are found to be not already provided by the company and pro-rations are applied if the device is also utilized for personal use.
Cell phone - Only the portion of use that the company requires of you. If you are a line holder thats probably zero. Using your personal phone to call dispatch and scheduling while at work when the company provides a phone does not count. If you are required to maintain a mobile phone you can deduct whatever percentage of that phones use that is for company business.
Condoms,
Seriously I deducted it last year.
I wonder on what basis you are claiming this deduction. Certainly just having a pilots license does not entitle one to deduct 'GA flying'.
I thought you could only deduct the portion of internet and cell phone fees that you actually used for work...seems the IRS would think 100% of the time for cell and net would be over the top...and cable??? My tax lady's really a bit too strict tho...
I guess its SEL currency or maybe job interview/sim practice- gotta keep cfi skill on par, could get a student at any moment that would provide revenue.
I don't know - studied engineering in college - don't no nothing about accounting - thats why i pay this guy 200.
