OT ~ Tax Accounting Questions....writing off stuff, I'm on contract at work

[SandraC]

Hi All ~ I have two jobs. One is a straight-forward-working-for-the-Man job, at the other one, I'm on contract.

I've been saving receipts for things I purchase that are directly related to the contract job....gas, printer cartridges. However, I'm wondering if I can write-off other stuff like phone bills, hydro bills and computer expenses.

Can someone help me here? Tax time is coming so I want to be prepared.

Thanks, Sandra
