Anyone know the max allowable 2012 perdiem before the 80% and 2%? It's always like trying to find a needle in a haystack for me.
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Publication-1542,-Per-Diem-Rates Google search is your friend - irs commerical drivers per diem for 2012 As of 2012, OTR drivers can claim a $59 per day per diem for any full days they are on the road.
yes its $59 per day (can also claim partial days). and yes its not so easy to find. most places have the $46 figure as that is the more common one.
Partial days are 70% only on the day you are coming onto hometime and the day you are leaving hometime. Days in between while on HT you cannot count. Google search is your friend - irs commerical drivers per diem for 2012
