Hey all, thanks in advance for help.
I travel for work, mostly working for musicians at concerts. I'll leave home and sometimes not come back for 6 weeks. I'd like to take advantage of M&IE per diem rates per city as I often travel to expensive places.
My question is about meals. How would I expense these scenarios? It's all 1099 work.
Contract 1: I pay for restaurants 3 meals a day, contract pays no per diem (I assume I can deduct 100% of GSA M&IE rate, yeah?
Contract 2: I pay for restaurants 3 meals a day, contract pays $25 per diem, but it's not added to my 1099
Contract 3: I pay for restaurants 3 meals a day, contract pays $25 per diem, but it IS added to my 1099
Contract 4: Supplies 3 meals a day (catering), but occasionally I still go out to restaurants for a meal or two a day.
Thanks for any help!
