You will need to ask your employer for a corrected W2, reporting this amount correctly, and not included in your wages.
Additionally, there is no way to make up the difference between your company's per diem and the federal per diem amount. The previous deduction for job-related expenses or other miscellaneous itemized deductions that exceeded 2 percent of your adjusted gross income is suspended.
This includes unreimbursed employee expenses such as uniforms, union dues and the deduction for business-related meals, entertainment and travel, as well as any deductions you may have previously been able to claim for tax preparation fees and investment expenses, including investment management fees, safe deposit box fees and investment expenses from pass-through entities.
