Getting per diem above my normal pay

It is only 80% when you did it on your taxes too.

 

Your paying less in taxes, your Federal taxes, so if needed unemployment benefits will be much less same goes for if ever needed disability.
And in the end your social security will be less

 

What you save in taxes by taking per diem will far exceed any other government reduced benefits. In fact, if you invested that excess per diem, it would far exceed SS or unemployment. Any time you can legally avoid taxes, do it.

 

Right, I almost forgot it was 80% using “real” per diem also. Last time I did real per diem, it was $55 full day. That’s the problem with the mileage per diem. If you don’t run for a day, you don’t reap the benefit. Let’s say the truck is getting repaired and takes two days, you would still get the full per diem where as with mileage, nothing. A place I worked locally paid us the cash per diem up front, would deduct from the pay and then was deducted on the w-2 end of the year. That’s the best per diem administration I’ve ever had.

 

Per diem doesn't apply anymore for W-2 employees.

 

Yes on your normal tax or as a1099. It's an over and above for the co.butyou have to watch them.as some shady ones will take it from you and then give it back if you stay out.
As taconic transport in Pittsfield ma does. The hole family is really shady. They are part of QUALITY CARRIER
But any how,just watch your self.

 

Incorect. It just has to be company administered per diem, employees can no longer itemize when filing their taxes, that’s where you would have claimed perdiem in the past.

 

mine is $25.
