For the guys/gals that do their own taxes, where do you add the per diem deduction? What section?
Thanks...
Per diem deductions are normally done on a Form 2106-business expenses. I used to break down my individual cities, per deim deduction, but as was stated by earlier poster, if flying 'domestic only' the deduction isn't that much. But does depend on how much your company pays for a per diem rate; if your company per diem rate is really low, and you have stays in 'high rate' cities, could be some serious coin, if not, as I said, not much of a deduction.
I have used TurboTax for the last 12 yrs. or so, just plug in the numbers and it fills out the forms for You.
As someone also said previously, TurboTax Rules!!
***Also, the new U.S 'tax cheat' Treasury Secretary uses TurboTax (as he testified before the Senate), you can't get any better endorsement than that. lol
