As a small landscaping business owner, can i deduct snacks, beverages, inexpensive meals purchased for contractors working with me either on the job or after?

It seems this would fit in the 100% meal deduction, but not the 50% deduction; is this correct?

They would be 50% deductions. 

You enter the total and TurboTax deducts 50%.

100% meal deduction is ONLY for meals you purchased from a restaurant, and ends with tax Year 2022. (afterwards all meals again go to 50%) 

Snacks and beverages for employees are not always deductible, however, as a landscaper, it would seem to be normal and ordinary for that type of business.

Thanks so much, Kris!
