Greetings, I am enrolled in a private CDL school that is about 150 miles from home and requires me to spend nights away from home. I am not on anybody's payroll and incurring expenses in order to attend the training. Am I allowed to take the standard $59.00 per day deduction for expenses?
I appreciate your responses.
Per Diem deduction during training, not employed

Regardless of per diem or not, it certainly would be deductible as an education expense.

It may be deductible as an education expense (or not, don't know), however, you are NOT subject to the hours of service regulations, so the standard TRANSPORTATION workers per diem of $59 per day does not apply.
