Thanks large number of truckers who are out on the road even longer than that. If the log books document that time, then run with it and legally. And hope you don't have a client whose log books were washed out into the Gulf of Mexico last August by Katrina!

Was the driver out all 24 hours of 263 days? If not, you> days on the road in one year? If it were a smaller number > of days I would not even be questioning this.

If s/he was out all of the time, you may put it down on the 2106 or 2106EZ and take the 70% for OTR drivers meals.

Yes, and they have a higher allowable percentage - 70%> days on the road in one year? If it were a smaller number > of days I would not even be questioning this.

FYI: 263 days on the road means he didn't work all that much. -- Paul Thomas, CPA paulthomascpapc[at]bellsouth.net << ================================================== ===== > << The foregoing is intended for educational purposes only > << and does NOT constitute legal OR professional advice. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2006) - All rights reserved. > << ================================================== ===== > |

| 2106 Truck driver Can a truck driver deduct meals at per diem rate for 263 days on the road in one year? If it were a smaller number of days I would not even be questioning this. It is just that this is a very large deduction, but I don't see why we would not be able to take this. Please respond.
