    Based on this : The special meals and incidental expenses rates for taxpayers in the transportation industry are $66

    what are your calculations to get to $35000? 365*66= 24090. And 80% of that is 19272.

    Your allowed a lodging per diem as well. Variable by location. Some are as high as $80 night. Fire your accountant and get a real one.

    I'm not a CPA. Mine is a real one. Crack your wallet and find one. It's an allowance.
