Explanation:

You can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses from your business income.

Ordinary expenses are expenses commonly paid by other taxpayers in your same industry.

Necessary expenses considers things that you need to pay in order to do business.

Some expenses can only be deducted partially even if they are ordinary and necessary, like having meals with your clients. You can deduct up to 50% of what you paid for the meal ($290 x 50% = $145)
