We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

If you have a Schedule C Business, click this link for detailed info on How to Deduct Business Meals and Entertainment. 

 

Employees are no longer able to deduct out-of-pocket costs for meals in tax years 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017.
