How much of client meals can be used as an expense deduction on fed income tax for an independant contractor?

If I take five clients plus myself for a meal, can I deduct 5/6th of the total meal cost as an expense for federal income tax. I am a Realtor (an independant contractor)?

  2. Actually you can deduct 50% of the total of all 6 of you. When filling out your sched c you'll notice the Meals and Entertainment portion of the Expenses section.
