2018 Changes for meals and entertainment
Charlene M. Ives, CPA, PC
Entertainment-related meals are no longer deductible starting in 2020, when no business is conducted, for example meals at night clubs, cocktail parties, theaters, athletic clubs, and sporting events.
For 2020, there are no deductions for sporting event tickets.(These items were deductible, though limited in amount, in prior years).
Office holiday parties or picnics are still deductible in 2018; no change has taken place.
Club memberships, though partially deductible in prior years, are no longer deductible. Examples are expenses incurred at a club organized for business, pleasure recreation or other social purposes.
