If that doesn't work for you, you can get to the correct area as follows:

• Federal Taxes tab (Personal tab In the Home & Business version)
• Deductions and Credits
• scroll down to Employment Expenses
• then, Job Expenses

If you are an employee receiving a W-2, they would be Unreimbursed Employee Business Expenses that goes onto Schedule A Itemized Deductions. If you don't normally itemize and use the Standard Deduction, then it may not benefit you unless your expenses are high enough.  Also, only the amount over 2% of your Adjusted Gross income will go onto the Schedule A.Travel, Per Diem, and More

 If you are OTR, the standard meal allowance for 2016 is $63 a day ($68 for travel outside the continental United States). This is for overnight travel.
