Deductions & credits

The very next paragraph below what you referenced, contradicts what you referenced. Furthermore, page 34 contradicts page 33 twice.

 

Also, within Turbo Tax, "Job-Related Expenses", I created the job "Truck Driver", as I go through it, there is a specific line item: "MEAL EXPENSES COVERED BY DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RUES" (which mine are), I entered the dollar amount of my meals.

 

When I click to the next page, it asks me about other unreimbursed expenses related to my job, I entered about $400 worth of items. When I complete that section, it shows me a deduction for that $400 in items, but nothing for the meals. The misc. items technically should not be deductible per my IRS reading.
