Telecommunications

I want to include the cost of internet for my other employment expenses as I have to pay for my own now. Where do I put that? In Telecommunications box or other?

According to CRA:    Computers, cell phones, and other equipment - You can deduct the part of the airtime expenses for a cell phone that reasonably relates to earning your employment income. However, you cannot deduct amounts you paid to connect or license the cell phone or the cost of fees for Internet service.  For more info on allowable employment expenses, please see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns206-236/229/slry/sppls-eng.htm...

Do you have a T2200 from your employer?

Internet is claimed under office in home. You can claim a portion of your cell phone on the telecommunications line if you use it for work.
