Missing Meal Deductions?
Are you tracking your business meals the right way? If not, you might be leaving money on the table. Business meals are deductible—but only when they’re recorded properly. Whether it’s a lunch meeting with a client or dinner while traveling for work, the IRS allows partial deductions, but you’ll need detailed records to claim them.
Use QuickBooks to categorize meals accurately, include notes on who was there and why, and keep the receipt (a photo works!). This small habit can save you hundreds—especially if you travel often or dine out for meetings.
A Chandler CPA (like us) can help you set up your categories and spot deductions you’ve missed. Our Monthly Accounting Services keep your deductions organized and ready when tax season hits.
