The "(reduced by your employer's reimbursement)" is outdated now as there are no Job Related Expenses for employees.
In the past, it would apply if you received a per diem from an employer for less than the per diem being claimed.
My husband is an over the road truck driver gone about 25 days out of the month. He is a W2 employee who receives no per diem from his company. All meals are out of our pocket, from what I am reading we can no longer take the per diem for meals? Is that correct?
Yes, unfortunately, that's correct, No per diem deduction allowable.
Ouch thats about $19,800 of per diem we cant expense.
Why does the 2020 turbo tax program ask for the per diem allowance if it's not deductible anymore? There is a section just for Transportation that asks for the per diem.
Although employee business expenses are no longer deductible on your Federal return, there are some states that do allow it.
