What can i do about per diem tax when my assignment ended before the 1 year mark. Can I get it reimbursed since it was not the full assignment of more than 1 year?

Letter of assignment (contract) was more than 1 year. At 9 months I was moved to a different project and signed a new Letter on assignment. The first assignment was to be more than 1 year which caused the need for taxes to be pulled immediately. Since i was transferred before the first year came up, I want to know if i can claim for a refund of that 9 months of taxes from the per diem.

The taxes taken out of your pay in order to cover the per diem should be reported on your W2.  When you file your tax return if more taxes were taken out then are needed to cover the money that you received then you will receive it back as a refund.
