I don't think that would be fair to the agent.
Hypothetically:
If he paid $21 for the breakfast, and he was in the 33% tax bracket ( the highest is 39%)...the deduction would result in the agent only getting $7 off his tax debt...he would not recoup $14
Why would the agent not be reimbursed, if he was there on behalf of the agency, and the meal was necessary for assessing the possibility of violations?
Or maybe the liberal that wrote this fairy tale, meant to say the meal was provided by taxpayers money...not tax deductible.
