But keep your meals and entertainment separate from other expenses, because
you're allowed to deduct only half of the total. Add that amount to your
other professional expenses, and you can deduct the amount that exceeds 2% of
your income. And you need a Form 2106. Many people don't have enough
professional expenses to meet the 2% rule. So plan ahead for next year, and
keep track of mileage if you drive to conferences and/or drive on errands for
your institution. It adds up.
