I need the biggest deduction this year. Where do I enter per-diem as a writer, director, playwright to gain the 100% deduction? Can I get it? I made $5K from fees, spent about $2300 in travel to meet with producers, etc. and get $16K in Social and Pension. If not, then where do I put the per diem rate and what is it? I was going to put in $40/a day but I was traveling, away for 35 days. Isn't this going to be a huge red flag?
