According to Liberty Tax, most of the things women purchase for work are tax deductible. For example, if you use your phone or computer for work calls and emails, you can deduct a percentage of the cost of that equipment. You can also deduct anything you’re required to buy for work including the cost of having a home office, as well as office supplies and equipment.
