Thanks for the post. I glommed onto the $400 audit support and didn't read that wasn't what I was looking for.

Is this something I have to keep up with trip to trip or do I just give the website my login info and it magically spits out a printout the next day?

Having had a couple random audits over the years; the IRS wants to see something akin to the ProDiem print out. Delta doesn't offer anything unless you've been printing out your monthly LOT's over the year. I had my own log (all done in XCL and compliant with IRS studs) and the IRS still wanted a different copy. When I handed in the ProDiem package, they were fine and accepted my deductions. BTW, the ProDiem was a bit more generous than my own log.

Basically yes. Go to their web sight. It will tell you how to download your schedule directly to them. May take a couple of days to get your report. They are very good about calling you if they have any questions or issues with your report

Mike,

To look at old rotations, select My Sched>Okay>F2 previous, then change date to month you are looking for. This will give you your monthly schedule and rotations. To see actual rotations more than a month or so back, you must go to archived rotations. That is on top tool bar under Preflt>Archived Rot. That will let you type in/see rotations for the last year or so.

Good luck,

Omar

I did mine myself. I only fly domestic so I used the $59 per day and 3/4 of that for the days I started and ended trips. I was on reserve the entire year not flying a ton so it only took me 20 minutes at most to calculate it.

Go to view schedule and type in the month like you normally would (remember some are not always the first day of the month, like 31jan14 or 02mar14) Then go to your time card and your rotations from the month you just viewed will show at the bottom, when you type in the dates for those the rotation details will show.

thanks, appreciate all the replies.

since I'm having a CPA do my taxes and he just wants the cities where I layed over along with the dates. Since he is an airline pilot specialist, I assume he knows how to properly format the forms the IRS wants.

When I explained the format of the pro diem form to my accountant and told him what it cost me to get...he crunched the adding the machine in the background and goes "yeah pay for that cause it will cost you more than for me to have to do the calculations."

Just food for thought.

I used pro diem, it was fast and worth it.

Pro Diem uses the exact time you block in till the time you report the next day. They do it down to the minute. Just dates will not suffice for the IRS. Using just dates will decrease your allowable deductions. Try it for one year and see what your account says. Just Say'n.
