Business Meals Deduction

Business meals are 50% deductible when directly related to business and not lavish or extravagant. Keep records of the amount, date, place, business purpose, and attendees. Entertainment expenses (sporting events, concerts) are generally not deductible since the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
