Can I deduct all of my internet since I sell only the internet? There are 3 computers in the house, the others may be used for personal.
Also, we have 3 cell phones. Family plan. The other 2 are used for personal and only cost $10 a month, but the main number is for business and is about $50. We can share minutes though. I want to write off the $50.

Well as long as you can give legitimate proof that the phone is used primarily for business use I would say it is safe to write off just the $50. If you were to be audited you could show that the other phones are not used for this purpose and therefore were not used for a deduction.

You can deduct internet expenses as business expenses

According to my read of the IRS website, you can only deduct things like the Internet if you ONLY use it for your business. The safest course of action would be to read the IRS website for yourself.
