While having a specific tax deduction set for the incorporated truckers and long-haul truck drivers, it becomes difficult to manage and know the benefits all the time. For instance, you can deduct 50% of your meals and beverages as a truck driver. However, if you drive a long distance and are a long-haul trucker, you can claim 80% of $17 to $23 per meal expenses (retroactive to January 1, 2020) eligible for certain travel periods. Additionally, being a long-haul truck driver, you can also enjoy the claim benefits of lodging and shower expenditures.
The benefits are numerous and TaxBuddies are here to assist you in optimizing your expenses, making your tax filing easier, and bringing you the deductions that you are entitled to.
