I am a Flight Attendant and receive a per diem from my employer. I do not know where I would enter that information.

To report per diem in TurboTax:

• Type in 2106 in the search box, top right of your screen, then click the magnifying glass

• Click the jump to 2106 link in the search results.

• Follow the prompts and onscreen instructions

• On the Do Any of These Uncommon Situations Apply to Your Job? screen, check the You are in the transportation industry checkbox and click Continue.

• You will arrive at the Any Other Expenses? screen.

•  On this screen, enter your unreimbursed DOT per diem in the field Meal expenses covered by Department of Transportation Rules (enter your total meal expenses here) field.

I am a flight attendant too, It is no longer deductible for federal taxes but might be for your state. California does allow you to deduct your expenses, check to see if your state allows this.
