AIRLINES NOTES:
PLEASE
NOTE!!!
If you do not
have a "Non Taxable" amount of per diem paid to you
listed on your W-2, this doesn't mean that you don't
have to claim it on your taxes. The
amount is not required by law to be listed by your
airline on the
W-2,
but it is required by law
that you subtract the non taxable amount paid to you
from what we calculate. You may need
to locate the amount on a year end paycheck or add
the non taxable per diem amounts for each paycheck
received for the year.
For example if
you are claiming January 1 - December 31 actual
flying - you will need the paychecks received during
that time period. That means: look on the
paychecks for your flying December 1 of the previous
year to end of November and add those amounts up!
Likewise if you claim your actual expense for the
Dec. 1 previous year through November you will still
look on the paychecks for your flying December 1 of
the previous year through the end of November.
For those of you
at Continental, we have been informed by your
payroll department the following regarding location
of non taxable per diem amount:
To assist you in locating your non taxable per
diem paid for purposes of placing it on Form 2106,
please try the following. Look on the upper left
hand side of your 12/31 paycheck. You will see
that it clearly states "per diem". This
is the
non taxable per diem amount,
even though it doesn't specifically say so. If
you had any taxable per diem it would be
listed as "taxable" per diem.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
If you choose to
add you non taxable amounts from your payroll
registers the amount listed as your non
taxable perdiem may not be your only non taxable
perdiem. Continental payroll department
has told me that the amount listed a few lines
below the non taxable per diem listed as "Intl
PD"
is also non taxable per
diem and
needs to be added to the non taxable per diem
amount. Crazy, but true.
OK, I know
all of you are asking yourselves right now "How am I supposed to
know it is non taxable if it doesn't really say it is?" The
girl in payroll said everyone should know this because they were
taught it in their initial training. ????? Unfortunately, that won't
help you or your tax preparer kn
the amount if you don't know about it.
The payroll department also said it was to late to
change the W-2 for this year but if people wanted
to see a change they should submit a request to
them in writing (i.e. email is OK) and ask that
they start showing the non taxable portions on the
W-2 for ALL employees.
