tax perdiem

[av8tor02]

down to the wire just wondering how this perdiem thing works for what the company paid you, and what you can write off. Thanks in advance

There is a ratio that my accountant uses because we are paid a fixed per diem rate reardless of if we overnight in Manhattan or Paducah KY.
She takes the amount of nights away from base * our houly rate * something else. I'll try to extract the details from her.
There is a substantial write-off for fixed rate airline per diem.

Airline employee tax prep would have been a useful course during my undergrad...
