It is entered under business expenses. First, when entering in your general business information check the box for "subject to the Department of Transportation (DOT) hours of service limits." Then, go to: 

  1. Business Expenses
  2. Other Common Business Expenses
  3. Meals and Entertainment
  4. Then select 80% Limit to enter your meal expenses.
  5. If you have lodging expenses, those go under Business Travel
