IRS releases modified rules on business meals and entertainment deduction

Updated: Oct 13, 2020

IRS. Sec. 274(a)(1)(A) generally disallows a deduction for any activity of a type generally considered entertainment, amusement, or recreation. Before their deletion by the TCJA, effective for amounts paid or incurred after Dec. 31, 2017, the subsection allowed several exceptions, including for entertainment that was preceded or followed by substantial and bona fide business discussions. The TCJA did not repeal other exceptions under Secs. 274(e)(1) through (9), including, for example, certain recreational activities for the benefit of employees, reimbursed expenses, and entertainment treated as compensation to an employee or includible in gross income of a non employee as compensation for services or as a prize or award (and reported by the taxpayer as such).
