For the current year, you simply need to
download our instructions and Form 2106. Do not target yourself for an
audit by ignoring our instructions. Make sure your tax
person follows the instructions and our sample of how form
2106 needs to be filled out!
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.
Some airlines list several amounts that are actually non
taxable per diem as other things. For example, on
Contiental Airlines Final Pay Registers, the notation reading
INTLPD is non taxable perdiem and need to be added to the
perdiem amount. When in doubt of your non taxable per
diem, CALL YOUR PAYROLL OFFICE!!!!!
