If you use your cell phone and internet for business, you may be able to deduct the business-use portion of those expenses.

Here's what to keep in mind:

- Only the business-use percentage is generally deductible.

- Keep copies of your monthly phone and internet bills.

- Use a reasonable method to calculate your business use.

- Keep records showing how your phone and internet are used for business.

- Review your deduction each year if your business use changes.

If you use your personal vehicle for business, be sure you're using the correct rate based on the date the miles were driven.

Due to rising fuel prices, the IRS has increased the standard business mileage rate for the remainder of 2026.

Updated business mileage rates:

January 1 to June 30, 2026: $0.725 per mile

July 1 to December 31, 2026: $0.760 per mile

One of the most important decisions you'll make as a business owner is choosing the right business structure.

Here's what to consider:

- Understand the differences between a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, and corporation.

- The level of protection depends on how your business is structured and operated.

- Keep your personal and business finances separate.

- Open a dedicated business bank account.

- Maintain accurate bookkeeping and financial records.

- Speak with an attorney or tax professional before choosing or changing your business structure.

Generally, LLCs and corporations can help protect your personal assets from business debts and legal claims, while sole proprietorships and general partnerships typically do not provide this protection.
