As a caregiver and independent contractor for a 90-year-old married couple, I maintain their household, shop and cook their meals, do their laundry, and provide personal care. I work 24/7 with an occasional day off staffed with a substitute that I pay. I provide for my own meals since the couple does not provide for them. My residence is two miles away, and I stop by infrequently to pick up a change of clothes or take care of some minor personal business. I file both Schedules C and SE. Can I take a standard deduction for meals under these circumstances?

As a 23-year-old college senior claimed on parents' tax return, I received a merit-based scholarship that did not specify its tax status or that it must be used for tuition and fees. The scholarship uses the term 'cash award' and requires me to meet university obligations before any extra cash is disbursed. I am unsure if this scholarship should be counted as income and if my parents can claim the related expenses. What specific IRS code section deals with this issue?
