Shasta McNasty 2007 :
I know I can write off expenses related to a job search. I was searching for a job for two months, and during that time, I racked up $400 in cell phone calls (phone interviews, voicemail). However, I have personal calls mixed in as well. Can I write off the bills for the entire two months, or only the specific phone calls I made?

Figure the percentage of use that was job related. Deduct those expenses on Schedule A, Miscellaneous Expenses in excess of 2% of your adjusted gross income.
You can’t write off the whole bill or a percentage of it, just the specific calls related to your job search.
