TAX SAVINGS, over 600 per week deductible from your paycheck

I'm no tax expert or employee of the I R S but $360 a week in deductions for motels with no receipts sounds like a BIG RED FLAG. Like you should have a flashing light sign that reads "please audit me, please audit me" or maybe have that tattooed on your forehead.

 

It looks like your using a form for businesses not a transportation per diem.You have better talk to account about no receipts for lodging never heard of not needing one for lodging.

 

I did Google this what I read is if your using a meal per diem you have to have receipts for lodging

 

You could get really good with a pdf editor and make some of your own receipts..... and get the double sized one if they figure it out and come collecting ..

 

OK, if that makes you happy. I just never put much stock in advice from trucker-lawyer/tax/investment, or other important life decisions that came from the counter of knowledge or Internet forums lol.

 

It sounds unreasonable because they know most of us sleep in our trucks most of the time. Next thing you know you are declaring that you write off so much of your income you're down to 10 grand a year and they want to know how you are paying your rent. Your car. Everything else you have.

Just take the meal deduction it's a pretty good deal really and call it a day. Country is already so far in the hole just pay the little bit extra.

 

You mean like the people on welfare do?

Lol

 

You can take lodging every day of the week if you have receipts. And you can get away with no receipts for anything right up till you get audited. Not only a receipt but you better also be able to show how you paid for it.
