Description

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) eliminated the deduction for any expenses related to activities generally considered entertainment, amusement, or recreation and also limited the deduction for expenses related to food and beverages provided by employers to their employees.

The IRS has recently issued proposed regulations on the business expense deductions for meals and entertainment following changes made to the TCJA.

These proposed regulations address the elimination of the deduction for expenditures related to entertainment, amusement, or recreation activities and provide guidance to determine whether an activity is considered to be entertainment. The proposed regulations also address the limitation on the deduction of food and beverage expenses.

This program is a two-hour intensive webinar on the changes made by the TCJA as discussed in the recently issued proposed regulations on this topic.
