Individual Tax

Robert attended a management seminar (related to his business) in Orlando for 5 days. The first 4 days were spent attending the seminar and the last day was spent sightseeing. In connection with the trip, Robert was reimbursed $2,000 by his employers business under an accountable reimbursement plan. Of this amount, $1,700 was for his travel and seminar expenses and $300 was for his meal expenses. The $2,000 reimbursement is reported in box 12 with the code L (substantiated employee business expense). Robert's total expenses for his trip to Orlando are as follows:

Air Fare (round trip).........................................$340
Seminar registration...................................... ...$550
Lodging ($170 per night)...................................$850
Meals ($80 per day)..........................................$400
Airport parking ($10 per day)..............................$50
Rental Car ($50 per day)...................................$250

How do you get $1,700 for travel and seminar expenses and $300 for meal expenses?

This is a home work question which would require a significant amount of time and effort to answer.

Time is MONEY during tax season, so, unless you are willing to compensate me for my time, I cannot answer it.
