First, I printed both of your answers for future reference. Thanks a ton.
Secondly, when I was paid per diem it was split out as you said. I had my pay include 2 portions with the non-taxable per diem deducted similar to a 401k contribution taken from the gross leaving a smaller, taxable federal wage. I was always told, and by several different CPA's, that the per diem was a totally separate pay and did not count into anything including an AGI floor.

I stumbled upon an article that discusses the pros and cons of per diem pay offered by carriers that does a very good job explaining this issue.
