IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-47 allows taxpayers (who are reimbursed under a non-accountable reimbursement plan) to claim a tax deduction for away from home meal expenses at the federal per diem rates that are assigned to your layover cities. The federal per diem rates are generally much higher than actual meal costs, resulting in significant tax savings without a corresponding out of pocket expenditure.

We match the applicable federal per diem rates to your layover cities and calculate the largest legal tax deduction you can claim for your meal expenses.
