So-it would seem to me that you could include it. There may be someone out there,though, that could tell you why you CANT. I include every little thing I can.....I am a nurse and last year, my total business expenses came to almost $16,000. I even keep receipts from Wal-Mart when I buy ink pens!!!! It adds up faster than you think! Good Luck! What are you doing going to strip clubs during a "Business Trip???" Im only joking! Might as well have some fun when ya can!
