MsTabbyKats Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I am having a senior moment! On a Schedule C (client lives in GA...but did an internship in DC...Box 7 income)..... Can he take the lodging per diem? Or, just "Meals & incidentals". My research is very vague....and I 'm leaning towards just the meal portion of the per diem is allowable on a C. I don't think he needs the lodging...he may have stayed with someone...but I just want to know for my own knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Self Employed may not use the lodging portion of the per diem rate. All lodging on a Sch. C must be substantiated. Tom Hollister, CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshtax Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Can an employer take a deduction for per diem on their corporate return if they paid expenses directly to merchant? For example they pay $50 hotel room on books they debit distributions and credit cash as well as debit travel expense $141 (per diem) and credit distributions.

Mr. Pencil Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 On a Schedule C (client lives in GA...but did an internship in DC...Box 7 income) Sounds student-ish. Did he have a regular job in Georgia at the time he started the internship? Was the internship for a specific period of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the internship for a specific period of time? It's e-filed already. He's was a grad student. I really wanted to know for future reference....I have a more complex one (movie producer) to do tomorrow.....with a lot of Schedule C income....and he travels a lot.

Mr. Pencil Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 He's was a grad student. If he wasn't working in Georgia, then travel to Washington was NOT deductible. I just mention it for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
