You need to go back to the source of the data.  If you are self-employed go back to your schedule C self-employment section and go back through the entries for deductible meals.  You should double check your answers to the questions.

 

If the deduction comes from a partnership K1 go back through and make sure that your entries into the K1 boxes match what is on your form.

Hello I am having the same issue. Please can you tell me which line in a K-1 corresponds to this "unreimbursed partnership expenses". I have several K-1s and dont know where to look or what to look for. Please could you provide some more detailed steps here? Thank you.

Also when you say details that came from K-1s should match what is on "the form" WHICH form are you referring to? (I.e. what entries are we tryinb to correct or make match?)

This experience has been reported and is under investigation. You may sign up for updates here: Why aren't my meals 100% deductible for my K-1?  Even if this doesn't seem to apply to your situation, the form will be updated in TurboTax when the investigation is complete.
