IMPORTANT

EZPERDIEM.COM is a first and foremost a per diem calculator, intended for use by airline flight crewmembers. Currently, EZPERDIEM.COM is only an aviation-related website. Anyone not in the aviation profession will not benefit from the information provided by EZPERDIEM.COM. EZPERDIEM.COM does not do taxes, nor do we provide official tax advice beyond the purpose of the meal expense calculation. The terms meal expense, standard meal expense, and per diem calculation are used interchangeably throughout this website. The word unofficial used throughout this text means that the information it relates to is not meant to replace guidance from the IRS or a Professional Tax Preparer, and that information must be verified by your own investigation. EZPERDIEM.COM gives some unofficial guidance for users of TurboTax and TaxCut tax preparation software. This unofficial guidance is so users know where to insert the EZPERDIEM.COM per diem calculation (standard meal expense), and nothing more. For a pilot or a flight attendant to benefit from deducting meal expenses, that pilot or flight attendant must itemize their deductions on their tax return. If you are a pilot or a flight attendant who takes the standard deduction (does not itemize), the EZPERDIEM.COM calculation will not increase your refund. Before you will see an increase in your refund, you must also have enough employee business expenses to exceed the 2% limit as defined by the IRS. Information on the 2% limit is contained in various unofficial places within this website, but can also be accessed via links to the IRS website. You must also include the per diem you were reimbursed from your employer(s). The per diem reimbursement (commonly called nontaxable per diem) is up to you to find in your W-2, last paycheck stub, or other company pay-related documentation. If EZPERDIEM.COM provides guidance, it is only to give pilots and flight attendants ideas on what may be a deductible, and that guidance is unofficial. The determination on whether that deduction is legitimate rests with you or your professional tax preparer. EZPERDIEM.COM does not offer protection in the event of an IRS audit. You, the taxpayer, are ultimately responsible for verifying the accuracy of all tax information you include in your tax returns. While we at EZPERDIEM.COM work diligently to ensure the accuracy of all of our data and calculations, errors are always possible, especially when a very large amount of data is used and compiled. You are encouraged to seek the knowledge of a certified public accountant or professional tax preparer if you have any concerns about the accuracy of the data EZPERDIEM.COM provides. EZPERDIEM.COM also provides links to appropriate IRS websites so you can personally verify the accuracy of all calculations or unofficial guidance we may provide. All per diem data used by EZPERDIEM.COM can found by accessing the IRS website. EZPERDIEM.COM recommends you save copies of all tax-related information we provide by printing a hardcopy. While we will make every attempt to save your data for several years, this is not something we can guarantee for various, unpredictable reasons.
