Truck driver delivers mail 150 miles from his home. Over nite stay is provided. Next day he drives back home. The next the same procedure. I have always used 2106 for the per diem deduction that goes to schedule A. He thinks it should not be a schedule A deduction. Tax Book 8.2 says that is where it goes. His other drivers say they are deducting it from income. I know I am correct. Just want to get someone else to agree with me.

How is this driver paid? Not by the USPS I would guess.
Is he an employee for another who is a subcontractor with USPS? If so, he must get a W2 end of year, therefore yo're right, schedule a, form 2106.
But is HE is the subcontrctor with USPS, then all goes on his own schedule c.ChEAr$,
