In the Business section of TurboTax, you can deduct both the price of the phone and the cost of communications if the phone is exclusively used for business.

The cost of phone can be deducted as Telephone equipment. It can be deducted in full if the price is under $2,500 and you make the de minimis safe harbor election.

The monthly charges can be deducted as communication expenses.
