Expert: Harvey Mechanic - 7/1/2009

Question
Are employee's allowed to purchase alcohol on their expense report while attending a Goodwill Conference?
Thank you!

Answer
There are no special rules regarding expense for food or drink allowed for employees of 501(c)(3) organizations compared to for regular, for-profit organizations.

www.irs.gov/publications/p535/ch11.html#en_US_publink1000144889
is the IRS publication on business expenses related to meals and I have not seen any exclusion, for example, for beer and wine.
