Greetings, please assist me according to the laws: If I need to file and pay taxes on the bonus lunches my past employers gave me, where on my tax return would I report it?

That is correct; you have nothing to worry about with your W-2 or taxes.  TurboTax is going to calculate your taxes based on what is on your W-2 in alignment with the IRS and all applicable tax laws.   We have an Accuracy Guarantee also.   So enter your W-2 as is, and rest assured, your tax return will be correct.    If you have any questions along the way, you an always ask here in the Community - for free 🙂

And if I do report the food from the company, will it get correctly taxed if I put it under miscellaneous or and other income, or should I include that in Box 1 for the W-2?  If I over report for good measure the value of the food, would that cause New Jersey or and the IRS to give me a larger refund than I may should be getting?  I don't want to cheat anyone.
