Thanks!
You can't deduct the first phone line into your home, whether it's a landline or cell phone. Choose one to be your first phone line. So, you could say that your husband's phone is the first line and then that would not be deductible. You could deduct the business portion of your phone line. Use your time-space% or some actual business use percentage. It doesn't matter that licensing requires you to have a phone. You could also deduct the business portion of the cost of your phone.
