If you qualify as a transportation industry worker, you can use the DOT per diem rate of $59 ($65 outside the continental United States).
The DOT per diem rate applies to each full 24-hour period you're away from home; for partial days where you're either leaving for work or coming home, use 75% of that rate (this would be $44.25 for inside the continental U.S., $48.75 outside).
The IRS allows you to deduct 80% of your unreimbursed DOT per diem, but you only need to figure your unreimbursed per diem for the year – TurboTax will calculate the rest. Follow the instructions below.
