Last year they charged me $159.00 for the federal 1040 with itemized deductions ($99.00 if you don't want to claim itemized stuff) plus $30.00 for the State return. All filed electronically and I got my return in my account 8 days after they filed and the above amounts were paid from my return. PilotTax take care of all the per diem calculations and will work out the best of either what the company paid or the standard deductions, (some overnights we had were paid higher that standard). The work sheet is pretty self explanatory and even tells you what you can claim and how much for the categories and which you don't need to show reciepts for so you can claim the max there!RJET said:rotweiller,
on the average how much does pilottax charges you?
THanks
The standard M&EI rate for tax years 2004 and 2005 is $41 for cities in the continental United States and $46 for cities outside the continental United States.atrdriver said:I use the "normal" amount, which I think is $33 for a full day out, and .75 of that for each partial day out. Add all of them up, then suntract what you are paid per diem, and deduct the difference. You can use the amounts from each city, but that becomes a real PITA, that's why I just use the standard.
IFLYASA said:It's that time of year when we all have to calculate our tax returns. I have yet to get the same answer to this. How are you caculating your per diem on your tax return? I know there is a certain per day price in each city that's published on the FAA webiste. I've heard some guys saying it's legal to add around 45$ per day on average on every overnight, then some saying to only deduct the difference from what you are paid, even though the IRS does not know how much per diem we get over the year. Most people say, "Oh my CPA does that, I don't know". Can anybody enlightening me???
Thanks..
