Q: Why can’t I be reimbursed for the cost of my personal meals for same day travel, for example if I leave at 6:00 a.m. and don’t return until 10:00 p.m.?
A: To qualify for personal meal reimbursement, IRS regulations require that an employee must be away from home substantially longer than an ordinary day’s work AND during the time away from home, need sleep or rest (referred to as the “overnight rule”-i.e., overnight stay is required).
