Deductions & credits

The rules you are referring to are correct- but they apply to self-employed truck drivers so the deduction are taken on a Schedule C.  You cannot take the Job Related Expenses as an Itemized Deduction as a W-2 employee.  @egpowers 

 

Apparently truck drivers are not suppose eat! This part of the law is ethically  wrong! There is no difference in hours on road if your self employed or work for a company! It's just owner operators get to eat!
