As does Pilot-Tax. I've been happy with their services for 12 years.

I tipped reasonably and generously, but being corporate, it all went on the expense report. :p. Now the guy with $400 in tips got looked into.

$2 bills are good tipping fuel - carry fewer singles around and they have novelty.

Do whatever you want and blah blah blah about "if you get caught". I'm just letting you know that my tax advisor changed that on me a few years back. She used to include it and now she said she can't. |

They are saying that tips are indeed a legitimate expense, but you have already been reimbursed via your per diem allowance.
http://www.watsoncpagroup.com/images...tinentalFA.pdf So the current language allows us to deduct tips as long as company paid per diem is less than our expenses. I haven't come across many people who can say that's their individual case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Whaaaat? I am so totally lost on what you guys are talking about. I'm claiming plausible deniability and gonna keep on claiming my tips
The bottom line is you can until the cited court case actually becomes IRS regulations which isn't a given that it will. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
