When entering information for the Schedule C business using the CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use the following steps:

  • First, in the Business Profile section, you must be sure that the box for being subject to the DOT hours of service limits has been checked in the Special Situations area toward the bottom of the screen. 
  • Then, go to the Business Expenses > Other Common Business Expenses area and scroll to the Meals and Entertainment category.  Since the DOT box has been checked, you will see a category for the 80% limit where you can enter your information.
