Should I just put meals and total or more itemized specifics

The IRS doesn't see your itemized totals. If you create the detail in Turbo Tax, it will only save for you. Meals and entertainment are one line/ one number on the Schedule C.

You should have receipts, business purpose of meals, an itemized accounting, etc with your records- but just put a total in Turbo Tax.
