Per diem for travel and meal expenses related to your business are entered when you are entering your federal Schedule C expenses. You are prompted to enter your business meals expenses when completing the business income interview. See Schedule C - Entering Sole Proprietorship in Program for details on accessing this section of the program.
Note. Enter all your meal expenses. Your deduction is generally limited to 50% of your total costs, but TaxAct will take care of the math for you. If the taxpayer is subject to the Department of Transportation (DOT) hours of service limits, the deduction is limited to 80%
