The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)Publication 463, titled "Travel, Gift, and Car Expenses," is the primary document that addresses travel and entertainment (T&E) expenses. It provides detailed guidance on what qualifies as deductible business travel, entertainment, and related expenses, including rules for substantiation, accountable plans, and per diem rates.
The web source from the IRS states: “Publication 463, Travel, Gift, and Car Expenses, explains what expenses are deductible, how to report them, and the rules for an accountable plan.” This directly supports Option B. The other options are incorrect:
Notice 1009 (A)does not exist in the context of T&E expenses.
Advisory 972 (C)is not a recognized IRS document.
Form 1046 (D)is not related to T&E; IRS forms like 1040 or 1099 are unrelated.
The IOFM APS Certification Program covers “Tax and Regulatory Compliance,” including IRS guidelines for T&E expenses. The curriculum’s focus on “peer-tested best practices” emphasizes familiarity with Publication 463 for compliance with T&E reporting requirements.
