Deduction Summary

Preparer Review

Meals deduction uses 80% rule.

Estimated net profit can feed Schedule C preparation.

Reimbursements are subtracted to avoid double-dipping.

QBI, state filing, fixed-asset schedules, and attachment handling belong in the full repo build.

This is an intake and planning app, not tax filing software. Review every amount against receipts, logs, and settlement statements.
