We are not a TV watching family..honestly..in fact we only have basic cable. i watch the Today show in the morning, and Bachleor on Mondays...That's it..Hubby writes music, so he doesnt watch ANY tv at all, and my son is a Apple technology junkie, and could care less about tv..So, with this in mind, the TV is turned on for personal use only 6 hours a week. However, with DC, it's on about 2 hrs a day, between morn/afternoon. So would i write off cable as a 50% business expense? or maybe even higher if it is used more for business rather than personal? Or would it still be time/space?

How do you write off yours?

And what about internet? I consider this site "educational' for business. I generally dont surf too often, just pay bills, ck on my ad on CL and email parents. so would my business use be higher than my personal? I was thinking of writing off the internet portion at about 75% business...but that's only for ME, what about the use for my husband & son? Would I consider them for my % also?

grrr....
