Self-employed: can I deduct meals eaten at work?
If I am self-employed as a tutor (1099 income) and have to buy lunch while at the tutoring center, can this be deducted as "Meals while traveling for business"?
Unfortunately, you cannot.
Meal expenses are deductible if your business trip is overnight or long enough that you need to stop for substantial sleep or rest to properly perform your duties. Meal expenses are also deductible if the meal is business-related entertainment.
