Can I deduct my lunch purchases while working full time on repairing my rental property?

Yes. If you're property is out of town, you can include 50% of the meals along with other travel expesnes (i.e. hotel).

Generally, lunches purchased for anyone at a job (office worker, banker, secretary) is not deductible. If the purchases are for workman as part of their pay, it would be deductible there.

If you have additional questions or comments regarding this, please feel free to post in the comments for further clarification.
