If you go to the grocery store and buy $80.00 worth of
groceries, water, plates, paper towels, etc. How do you
determine what is deductible. Is the food ded or is is part of the
per diem? Are supplies such as papertowels, tt paper, forks
etc ded?
and I know I have asked this before but I just don't understand..
If my husband and I both have our name on tax return
A....& R....Wa... with both ss #'s is the per diem per day for
each of us. (we both eat). 52 x 2 = 104 minus the %.

the food that we buy eating out at mickey d's etc is included in
our per diem..right? Do I need to save receipts for that?
I save all my Walmart receipts where I buy groceries for the
truck also.
Sorry for asking again but I just need to understand this.
