Foreign Exchange Student - What can I Deduct?

Ephesians3-14
Level 8

I have a client who had a foreign exchange student stay with them in 2021. A 1099-NEC was issued to my client's SSN for $5,000.

The client provided $4,000 of food expenses for the student that was paid for by my client. Can they deduct the $4,000? I thought the IRS allowed taxpayers a $50/mo deduction for food?
