How do you file the difference in per diem? I use H&R block online. We take the number in 12 L of our w2 and subtract that from our actual per diem allotments (I use ex perdiem) but then what section do I report this under the itemization?
Thanks
Thanks

If I knew tax codes better I'd say you guys were crazy. Where in your companies FOM does it say you need those things (I've been told thats the litmus test)? Seems ballsy to me.

I just did my taxes with the Tax office on base and I asked a few questions.
I could not claim mileage to work for "normal" work days.
I could not claim my computer, computer repair, or cell phone.. unless my work "required" those things... not just "made it easier." It also had to be used "exclusively" for work, not personal use.
So.. check up on that stuff guys. It may go through, and in 2 years you'll get an audit. I suggest getting professional guys to do your taxes! Well worth the money and keeps you safe.

On Pay-Recap, how do you tell the GOVT amount? Is that the Xcluable #? I haven't claimed per diem before but now that I am turning good coin want to get back what is rightfully mine..
