So, just to clarify, a 1099 fee basis contractor [paid flat fee per visit completed] who receives a flat per diem reimbursement [with no provision for submitting expense receipts to the contractor] will see the per diem total amount paid broken out on the 1099 in a separate box. And that amount can only be offset as taxable income by deductions on Schedule C.
If so, I am glad I upgraded to Turbo Tax Home and Business, as this is the first year BACK in to a 1099 scenario in a bigger way.
