Deductions & credits

Thanks for your reply. I am an independent contractor on a 1099, so I know that I am able to write expenses off. The question is how to enter the standard meal allowance rather than my actual expenses. Is the standard meal allowance subject to the 50% deductibility? Also, do I need to enter each expenses line by line in turbotax, or can I enter the sum? Thanks again. Julia
