During 2012, Janice Teason has the following costs related to her principal residence:
Utilities$3,200
Maintenance And Repairs3,800
Telephone:
Monthly Charge480
Personal Long Distance Charges275
Employment/Business Related Long Distance Charges780
Office Supplies675
Property Taxes6,400
House Insurance1,800
Interest On Mortgage6,200
Ms. Teason estimates that she uses 30 percent of the residence for employment/business related purposes. Maximum CCA on 100 percent of the house would be $15,000. Determine the maximum deduction that would be available to Ms. Teason assuming:
A.She is an employee with $80,000 in income (no commissions).
My question is: I know that the personal long distance charges on her phone are not deductible and that the Employment/Business Related Long Distance Charges are deductible but is the monthly charge of 480 also deductible?
