    Hey so I'm a new owner operator and I know that we can pay ourselves per diem.
    My question is can I do it as a weekly deduction? As opposed to deduction all of it at tax filing time?

    Example: my net before tax is $2000. I take out $64/day x 5 days= $320.
    Then tax myself on $1680 for that week.

    Pretty sure I can do that as long as I keep a record of it yes?
    Thanks
