Can I deduct meal expenses related to travel to rental property in a different town? If so, 50% or 100%, and where in TurboTax you enter meal expenses related to rental?

You can deduct 50% of meal expenses related to your rental property.

When you are working on the Schedule E Rental Income and Expenses section of your return, go to the Expenses area and enter 50% of your total meal expenses as part of the travel expenses. 

Use the following steps to go directly to the Schedule E part of your return:

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)

• This opens a box where you can type in “schedule e” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)

• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to schedule e”

• Click on the blue “Jump to schedule e” link
