Thanks for your reply. Yes, as clergy I have both Schedule C income (funerals, weddings, etc.) and employee income. So previously I had inquired about deducting expenses on Sched. C. But as an employee, I also have unreimbursed employee expenses, and I was trying to understand if meals can be included in those unreimbursed employee expenses, which I can deduct from my SE income. I walked through the interview process to be sure I didn't miss anything (esp. since the laws change every year), and as I had mentioned, the interview process creates a Form 2106 (perhaps in case it can be used by the state), but it is not actually filed. I simply use that total from the form it generates when manually adjusting my SE income. But I don't understand why it doesn't calculate travel meals in the expenses., even though I enter them during the interview process.
