Hi, do I need to delineate these as two categories or are they all under meals? In other words, should I put the meals I eat when traveling for business under travel expenses and the rest under meals, or all together under meals?

For 2023, you would enter all business meal expenses under the 'meals' category.

There is no need to separate the meal expenses into travel meals or other meals. They are all deductible at 50%. Enter 100% of the cost and TurboTax will use 50% on your tax forms.
