I already tried doing $1400, + $500 + $150 (300 x 50%) = $2050, but this was incorrect and the feedback mentions "Most travel expenses are fully deductible, but Congress decided that a portion of the cost of meals is a personal expense. Therefore, only 100 percent of the cost of meals is deductible." So I also tried $1400, + $500 + $300 = $2200 and this is again incorrect. Please show calclulations!
