<prompt> Human: He says I can write off my car expenses, gas, meals, and even entertainment for clients. Is this true? How do I make sure Im not going to get screwed? Ive never been more than an hourly employee before and this proposal is kind of intimidating  <response>: Car expenses? Do you drive for your job or just commute? Commuting miles are not deductible, unless your home is set up as your primary business location and you drive elsewhere to work but in this case your home must be your primary work location. Meals? Like meals at work, lunch? Not deductible.Client entertainment, restaurants I guess? You can only deduct 50 of those.
