I travel for business for two months each year. Usually I deduct actual housing costs and per diem for m&ie. Last year housing costs were low. Can I use the per diem for housing ($200/day) instead of actual housing expenses? Alternately, can I use the per diem for housing and m&ie ($275/day), and if so, how is that entered into TurboTax, since it combines housing and meal expenses?

Housing can only be based on actual costs. Housing rates shown in GSA schedules are maximum rates for Government employees, not tax deduction rates.
