Overheard a tax prep lady in Denver ranting about meal write-offs

Stopped by a shared office space last Tuesday and this accountant was telling a freelancer she wouldn't touch their 60% food deduction without receipts itemized by client. She said the IRS flags anyone who lumps coffee runs with client dinners. Made me wonder, how detailed do you guys get with your meal logs, or do you just guess and hope?

Damn, that lady sounds like she needs a hobby.

Wait, wouldn't a thorough paper trail stop a costly audit dead in its tracks?
