@CaptdennismRN What kind of "per diem" work are you asking about?
What about "per diem" do you think is deductible? Are you a W-2 employee? If so, no job related expenses can be deducted on a federal tax return. Your state laws might be different. Per the federal tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond, W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses.

Or are you working as an independent contractor?
