Hello- I have an LLC and I frequently travel for work. I understand how I can't expense for meals and groceries while I'm at home. Can I deduct meals and groceries as business expenses while traveling for work ?

 

 Please let me know.

Thanks

QuickBooks Online is use for recording purposes only. You can track your travel expense related to your business using the software. Create an expense account and put all your travel expenses in that account. I recommend reaching out to your accountant if you're unsure which expense account to use.

 

Meals and groceries are part of deductible travel expenses. Please see the common ones below:

 

  • Transportation
  • Lodging
  • Meals
  • Event Registration
  • Equipment rentals
  • Miscellaneous business expenses

 

Once tax season rolls around, your fees should be totaled on an expense sheet. Then, you can claim expenses on Form 2106 and report them on Form 1040. Please refer to the IRS guidelines for the latest updates.
