Business meals are deductible at 50%, unless they are taken at a restaurant. But is it different for clergy? I ask because the chart on p. 15 of Pub. 517 (worksheet 2, line 3) explicitly directs the clergy to deduct ALL meals at 100%, and it doesn't even allow the option of deducting them at 50%. Yet, TT deducts my meals at 50%, so TT is directly contradicting the chart on p. 15. Perhaps the chart is in error, but we can only go by what the IRS puts in print, and it is very clearly there in print!
So, which is it: 50% for some and 100% for some, or 100% for ALL meals for clergy on their Schedule C?
