This year he paid $1,400 in course fees for his continuing legal education in a different city. He also paid $500 for airfare and a hotel room and paid $300 for meals, all of which were provided by the hotel's restaurant. Bob also purchased a $10 bag of snacks from a newsstand while waiting for his plane in the airport because he missed lunch. What is the total amount he can deduct on his Schedule C related to these expenses? I already tried doing $1400, + $500 + $150 (300 x 50%) = $2050, but this was incorrect and the feedback mentions "Most travel expenses are fully deductible, but Congress decided that a portion of the cost of meals is a personal expense. Therefore, only 100 percent of the cost of meals is deductible." So I also tried $1400, + $500 + $300 = $2200 and this is again incorrect.
