    phone line used for faxes only

    Many people today use their cell phones as their primary telephone lines. Some people keep a land line only because they have to send and receive faxes. They never answer the land line and do not give out that phone number as their phone number.

    What is your opinion of using that as a business expense? I know that IRS has always said that the first phone line going into a house is not deductible. But if it is listed as their fax number and not given out as phone number, do you think there would be an exception?

    Thanks

    I don't think so. The IRS is not in the 21st century yet.

        thanks for the thread link

        In actuality, if your phone service is through the cable company it is not a phone "line". It is digital service.

        If you had a internet fax service, I guess that would be deductible.

        I wasn't going to take it unless I had some good back up from you super intelligent people that would give me proof it might be allowed.

        Yes, IRS is way behind. In a lot of areas.

        Thanks
