If your CPA knows what he is doing after seeing your W-2 from UAL, he should inform you the Per Diem write off against this income doesn't count.

Somewhat related, what do I tell my CPA when I give them that UA per diem letter? I don't have receipts saved from overnights, and he's never had an airline guy before.

There's a whole special IRS rule for "travel industry " people and how to take a deduction. The forms even have a place for it.


TurboTax asks the question so any decent tax preparer should be able to figure it out.
