Home business how to enter cell phone bill

I have a home business office and have entered all my information for utilties and sq footage of house and it all calculated nicely. My home office works out to be 10% of the size of my house so it's using the 10% off everything.

I'm not sure where to enter my cell phone bill. I use my cell phone for 80% for business, how do I enter my bills for this? If I enter it in the home business portion it's based off the size of my home office which I don't want to use. I was thinking of entering it under Telephone and Utilities but it has a disclaimer to not enter it for you have a home business.

Thanks.

This is a good question. You are right in saying you do not want to put it in home office.

There is a section just before home office and a box called "Telephone and utilities".

Enter 80% here. This box does not get prorated.

Would you be flagged by the CRA since that box is for a business property?
