Option E

Explanation:

The price of the meal and the additional expenses while travelling away from home for work purposes is deducted from an employee or self-employed person. The expense deduction generally requires the costs to be substantiated.

There has been, however, an optional form that prohibits receipts for these taxpayers.

The IRS releases Diem levels for different parts of the United States (see Notification 2015-63 on the subject of irs.gov). For just the intent of measuring a meal and an accessory deduction, taxpayers may use such per diem rates and will be required to prove it.

If an employer wants a method of proof of travel expenses by Diem, the meal and by-product procedure requires real cost records in order to prove accommodation expenses.
