{"replyTo":"","text":"If you are an owner operator or business owner, then yes, you can still claim the per diem deduction.   If you are an employee,  then no, you can no longer claim that deduction any longer as of last year.  If your company offers you a per diem (part of your pay that is non taxed), probably a good idea to take it.  If they do not, then you are out of luck I guess. However there is no requirement that a company has to do so.","replyToPid":0}
