IRS Audits & Exams
“How do I handle an IRS audit of my meals deductions?”
An IRS audit of meals deductions often turns on how the expenses were documented, what business purpose was recorded, and whether the meals were tied to a clear client, travel, or employee-related context. The IRS usually looks for receipts, contemporaneous notes, and a consistent pattern in the books and records. It can also matter whether the meals were treated as fully deductible, partially deductible, or subject to special limitations based on the type of expense and the tax year involved. The audit response typically focuses on matching the return, the supporting records, and the explanation for each item. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
