Re: entertainment/meal deduction for husband/wife

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your reply. I still have a question, if those requirements are met: can we each claim 50% of the meal thus deducting 100% of check? Or is only %50 of the total check?

Thanks

No, the deduction is limited to 50% of the amount spent. The person who pays gets to claim the deduction. For married couples, you'll split the deduction equal to 50% of the amount spent.
