As the employer, I paid my employee per diem allowance for her expenses during travelling (during the time she was away from her home while on the project) as per the IRS directions.
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-regs/perdiemfaq&a.prn.pdf
The daily amount that I paid was within the federal per diem rate limits and I have received expense reports as instructed on the IRS page. These payments have not been included in my employee's wages and as a result on her W2.
My question is, how do I deduct these per diem payments on my business return?

If they were for travel put them on the travel line. If not you can always make your own category later in the program if none of the preset categories see to fit.
