We Pride Ourselves on Being a

Tax Preparer’s Best Resource!

Due to the complexity of the Revenue Procedures and their application to a crewmember’s flight data it is very difficult and time consuming for a tax preparer  to try to calculate expenses.    In order to calculate amounts properly tax preparers must be familiar with time conversions between local and Zulu, daylight savings times, flight rules, and rates for each city around the world.  These must be calculated not only for the year involved but specifically for each and EVERY day of the year.   Training issues and rules regarding ground times and layovers are additional considerations that require expertise when calculating these expenses.  Needless to say,  travel expense calculation for pilots and flight attendants is definitely a data processing function which most CPA and tax preparers prefer to leave to the experts.  That's where PRO-DIEM comes in.

PRO-DIEM, Inc. is the expert in calculating these amounts!  We do not do taxes - we specialize in calculating the travel expenses for crewmembers.  We are familiar with each airlines formats.  We understand how the trips work and how to calculate the exact amount allowed.  We understand training and temporary duty assignments and know which trips can and cannot be claimed.  We do the time conversions necessary so that your client will receive the accurate partial days allowed.   A perfect example of this would be a trip that appears to the untrained eye to be perhaps two days in length.  When PRO-DIEM calculates the time conversions (i.e. Northwest is in Local date but Zulu time on their crew member reports), it turns out that the trip may have touched three if not four days!  And at $50.00-150.00 & up per day, those days shorted can really add up! What we save your client by calculating the partial day portion and training correctly more than covers our modest fee.  So imagine the savings for your client based on a whole years worth of flying.   us h
