Where do I place food expenses for business?

  1. Log into your tax return.
  2. Use the search box in the upper right hand corner. Type "schedule c" in the box and press enter.
  3. This will bring up the "Jump to schedule c" link...click that link.
  4. Turbo Tax will ask you some specific questions about your business. You'll be led through a different screens asking you more questions regarding your business.
  5. You'll also be taken to a screen to enter you income.
  6. Once you've entered your income, or moved past the screen, Turbo Tax will bring you to the screen for you to choose what expenses you would like to enter onto your tax return.
  7. Under the Business Expenses heading click the Other Common Business Expenses start/revisit button.
  8. About half way down the page on the next screen is the Meals and Entertainment, this is where you enter your business meals.

No, you do not need to list every single meal. Just total up the cost of the meals and enter the total. Keep your receipts to have proof of your expenses.
