CONTINENTAL 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 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.
