    Per Diem Rates

    I am completing the Schedule C and my client travels most of the time to different cities. If we take per diem rates does that all go under travel or do I have to break out between meals too? I know meals are only 50% deductible.

    Self-employed taxpayers must use actual expense for lodging, so they can only use the per diem allowance for meals and incidentals. See page 8-12 in TTB for a discussion of this.
