Can content creators deduct their internet bill?
Short answer
Yes.
The business-use portion of your internet service is deductible. Most creators use 50–80% of their internet for business.
IRS requirements
- Must have a home office or work from home
- Document your business vs personal internet usage
How to calculate
Estimate your business-use percentage (hours working online / total online hours). Multiply annual internet cost by that percentage.
Common mistakes
- Deducting 100% when internet is also used personally
- Not keeping monthly bills as documentation
