Business meals can be deducted at 50% if they are ordinary and necessary expenses incurred in the course of business, and the taxpayer or an employee is present. Entertainment expenses, however, are not deductible under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. For example, a meal with a client to discuss business is deductible, but tickets to a sporting event are not.
