In this video I explain the business meals tax deduction. Specifically, I discuss:

Why the IRS even allows business owners to deduct meals…I think if you understand this concept, it will eliminate a lot of your questions about why is a meal deductible or not.

What meals are not deductible at all, what meals may be 50% deductible and what meals are 100% deductible.

What you should do in your bookkeeping software to keep track meals vs. entertainment.

What do you need to do for record keeping? Is having a receipt good enough?

What to avoid when deducting meals as a business expense?

What is “ordinary and necessary” as it relates to deducting meals for business?

I’ll wrap things up by giving you some tips and tricks such as how to deduct meals for your spouse, what to do if you split the bill with someone and a couple other helpful items so make sure you watch till the end or you’ll miss those important items.
