Can I deduct meals under business travel expenses?

[VictoriaD75 · Accepted solution]

Yes. Meals can be deductible as part of business travel for self-employed taxpayers. However, a portion of the cost of meals is a personal expense. Only 50% of the cost of the meals is deductible. If you are a W2 employee, business expenses incurred while traveling for your employer are not deductible.
