How Per Diem works now

Eh ok. Already asked the IRS. I am good. But you folks keep on believing what idiots like K Rutherford keep telling you.

Per Diem


Yeah they are the experts

 

It is per night away from home. And yes it is only 80% of $63 (unless they change it) or simply $50.40.

 

Correct, per night in the sleeper. Thanks.

 

A lot of people do.
There are millions of types of jobs and a solid economy and habitat requires that everyone does some kind of different work.

Could you imagine if everyone was a pastry chef? There would be no buildings, electricity and gas, no roads and no clothing or internet and no farmers so therefore no pastry chefs.

 

320 nights away from home had better be single, no kids, and a family that hates them.
There is zero reason to spend a 34 hour reset away from your own own, well unless you are one of the mobile homeless.

 

Your opinion is that everyone should do as you do.
Imagine if all the bees thought alike and only pollinated zinnias?

We’d have a lot of pretty flowers but no vegetables and we would all starve.
Diversity makes it possible for a civilization to thrive and survive.

 

So not only are you an expert tax consultant specializing in taxes post 2017 tax overhaul, you are also some sort of “life coach” telling everybody else how they should manage their life and job?

Based on what I’m reading from you, I hope you’re at least a fair driver because you suck at your other two side jobs.

 

Not a tax expert by any means. I know companies push this per diem crap when it makes no sense for most drivers.


I can not fathom why anyone would want to live in these trucks for 320 nights a year. Don't know about life coach but living in a truck that much you have none. It is that simple.

Look if you guys like being mobile homeless good for you. There are also folks that like watching South Park, baseball, and other assorted ignorant things. To each their own. But I would bet the number of folks living in a truck that much is less than 1% of CDL holders.
