Deductions & credits
When I input the M&IE into the Meals 50% section, it reduces my expected refund compared to when input into Travel Expenses, so I assume it is very relevant where I file it?
I am also a little confused as I could have taken some or even most of my meals in restaurants, which would be filed in the Meals 100% section. When I input my M&IE there, I get the same refund as when they were input to Travel Expenses.
Long story short, I definitely would financially prefer to file as Meals 100 or Travel Expenses according to the TurboTax software, but I don't know if this creates an audit risk or is illegal.
