IRS Weighs Rules for Taxing Private Use of Work Cellphones

Well this is the price of big government I guess. I'm happy I don't have a cell phone for business or personal use.

The IRS is weighing a proposal to deem one-quarter of employees' use of work cellphones as personal use and therefore subject to tax as a fringe benefit.

I kicked the cell phone addiction a few years ago and I'm as pleased about it as i am quitting smoking. No electronic leash for me Bucko! :salute:
