    Can not helpon the "per diem" , but your taxes are figured against the state you reside in ! I pay Indiana state & local taxes , while working for a company in Iowa !
    "Per diem" is money they figure is non-taxable for the job ! I am guessing kind of like the food deduction thing . Hope this helps abit .

    If you have a choice on pay options take the non per diem, You can still claim per diem at the end of the year.
