More info on "Special rate for transportation workers"...looks like $59/day or $65 for international.

In my case lot of places per GSA rates are $46-51/day

Doesn't really pay with domestic trips for deductions and international is a per destination rate not a flat rate.

It is worth it to have one of the pilot tax websites figure it out for you. It more than pays the fee.

It takes about 25 minutes to do it yourself and again domestic deductions are non existent unless u make $1 /hr per diem.

Not true about being non-existent for domestic pilots. I am a domestic pilot with a $2/hr perdiem. I just looked at an example of one from last year and it was a $1200 dollar deduction. I have always gotten a good deduction even with domestic.
