Learning Objective

  • To analyze the situations where you can now claim a 100% deduction.
  • To explain the alterations coming in 2026, including the introduction of a 0% deduction for the operation of eating facilities.
  • To discuss when you can deduct the costs of meals during travel breaks for substantial sleep or rest.
  • To identify the changes that occurred prior to TCJA and how they have shaped the current deduction landscape.

Course Overview

The latest guidance on expanded deductions for food and beverages is here to revolutionize the way you claim your business meal expenses. Say goodbye to limitations and hello to increased savings! 

In this webinar, we will focus on meal deduction, including business meals and travel meals. In addition, we will look at the final regulations issued relating to the changes to the meals and entertainment deduction arising out of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, mainly the change from a 50% deduction for entertainment to $0, and how that interacts with the meal deduction. 

Key topics covered in this course:

  • Business meals
  • 100% deduction allowed
  • 2026 meals 
  • Travel meals
  • Prior Rules and TCJA
  • 50% Deductible meals

This CE Tax webinar will also look at the changes relating to the 2021 and 2022 100% meal deductions since we still have clients who may not have filed for these years.

Join this webinar to understand how the meal deduction works, along with any changes the final regulations bring to the meal and entertainment expense deduction and what it means for your clients.

It's not a big subject until we receive the client's bookkeeping. That's when it gets a bit scary, considering they usually have no idea about the conditions of deductibility. Listening to the presentation, I can prep for educating clients.

Owen Mccafferty, CPA (US)

Mr. Preusch gave an in depth explanation of Meals and Entertainment not only currently but historically back for the last decade. The suppositions of what will be in store for these deductions in 2026 and beyond was equally as interesting.
