Deductions & credits

I apologize for not being more specific about what I need help with.

 

Yes, Turbo Tax does permit the DOT meal deductions previously mentioned to be used as a deduction for "employees".

 

The problem we are having is that the rate is locked at 50% (standard deduction) instead of 80% (Special Rates: Department of Transportation's "hours of service" limits) as is explained in the IRS Publication.

 

I just need to know how to correct/change from 50% to 80% as described at https://www.irs.gov/publications/p463#en_US_2019_publink10009980.

 

Thank you for your help!
