Some meal and entertainment expenses may be fully deducted. That is, your deduction doesn't have to be limited to 50% on these activities: 

  • If the meal or entertainment is an essential part of the business function, as with a restaurant critic, food blogger, or sports reporter. 
  • If your business is audited, you may be required to give the IRS specific reasons and documentation (policies and job descriptions, for example) to prove that the meals were reported to and reimbursed by the the Employer.  It will probably be described fully in your contract.
