    pilot... always second guessing

    I am always second-guessing myself.
    I've been taking per diem for this pilot for food, but not for "CONUS" overnight stays.
    The food for DOT workers is $59 which has to be reduced according to take off, landing, and overnights. I got that.
    Was I supposed to ALSO add $83 for every overnight stay?

    TTB 8-2

    "Effective October 1, 2013, the standard
    CONUS rate is $46 for M&IE and $83 for
    lodging. The following chart identifies
    key locations that allow a higher M&IE
    rate than the standard CONUS rates."

    The lodging rate is meaningless for determining the taxpayer's 2106 deductions. Has to do with reimbursements. I think it's around TTB 8-12. "No standard deduction for lodging".

        doesn't he get reimbursed by his employer? All of my airline employees do (pilots and stewardi.)
        Believe nothing you have not personally researched and verified.
