OK, so this may be redundant, but I don't really care - I'd rather have a clear understanding of what I can and cannot do.
First, if you are driving team, and you go out to dinner or buy a movie to watch on layover and "you talk business with your team member" - can't you claim it? I mean, just the same as if you were taking out a client/customer/business associate?
Now, I'm new to this - so I need all the help I can get (in more ways than one). As I understand it, there is a $52/diem that you can deduct. Is that $52/diem per team member? So, as a H/W team it would be $104? And, that per diem includes meals/groceries, hotels/motels, showers and laundry - Right?
If you choose to exclude the per diem for just 1 day, what was the percentage of the deduction? But, what you're saying is you can mix and match (per diem and non-per diem) on an as needed basis throughout the year?
I'm so confused?
