Deductions & credits

Yes, you can deduct 100% of the cost of meals for business purposes if the meals were purchased at a restaurant.  This is for 2021 and 2022 returns ONLY.  For 2023 and beyond, as of now, the deduction reverts back to the 50% rule.  Below is a link to the IRS and TurboTax guidance:
