IRS announces that per diem rate remains unchanged for 2009

IRS announces that per diem rate remains unchanged for 2009

Quote:

Officials with the Internal Revenue Service announced recently that the transportation workers’ special standard per diem rate will remain at $52 for 2009. The 80-percent deduction rule will also remain unchanged for 2009.
Some truckers are unsure when they can use the “overnight” rule and deduct the per diem amount. In past issues of Land Line Magazine, Howard Abrams of PBS TaxBookkeeping Service included the following Q & A on the topic in his “Tax Tips” column.
