How Great Is It for Your Grocery Bill to Be a Tax Write Off?!

In summary, making your grocery bill a tax write off can lower your tax liability and save you money by deducting a portion of your food expenses from your taxable income. However, not all grocery expenses can be written off and you must keep receipts for proof. The IRS has restrictions on what types of food and beverages can be claimed as deductions and personal grocery expenses cannot be claimed. It is important to keep personal and business expenses separate for accurate tax deductions.

:blushing: For the last two weeks I have been buying ingredient to try new recipes for the Fall. I am loving saving my receipt to write-off my supper from taxes!!!!:angel:
 
Plus we get to eat all that yummy food:)
 
I love it. Things have been crazy here, so I haven't tried a ton of the new recipes. But next week and the week after when things settle down, I'll be digging into that 29 min cookbook for sure!
