Question
Thank you Norman for taking my question:

My son helps me in my business in Virginia in a volunteer capacity. He traveled to Charlotte NC to attend a training course organized by my company's franchisor. What meal allowance does IRS allow  my business to claim? Can I make the respective payment to my son?
