    These may depend on location

    You can access them through the IRS web site. Search "per diem."

      All i find on the IRS site is a link to GAO which shows the historical per diems by city. What i'm trying to find are the historical "Special Standard Meal Allowance Rates for Transportation Workers". So far nothing...at IRS or DOT. Any body got any print editions for 07, 06, and 05 that shows these amounts?

      I used to keep prior year print editions, but with internet search capabilities I stopped doing that a couple of years ago....just goes to show ya....

        You can download Pub. 463 for all of those years.

        The amounts should be listed under "Standard Meal Allowance," subheading "Special rate for transportation workers."

          Standard Deduction for Meals

          According to the front of the 2009 Tax Book, standard deduction for meals for transportation workers:

          2005 $41.00/day
          2006 $52.00/day
          2007 $52.00/day
          2008 $52.00/day
          2009 $52.00/day
          2010 $59.00/day

          Hope that helps!
