Delivery Consignee, and the mileage as to where I stopped along the way, even if it was just a pit stop. name of city, and State.
But the standard mileage rate is the one that is the real question, and not the per deim. If the IRS classifies you as "FOR HIRE", Then and only then the standard mileage rate does not apply and the allowance cannot be taken. There is a Cheif Council Memo, stating the the mileage rate can be use.d That Memo # is CCM #1997-40 if you are audited it is that memo that is used to clear the allowance unless a new one was issued to repremand it.. No matter what anyone says.

fkatz, I am using turbotax online. When I do the standard deduction for my per diem, do I have to figure the 75% and enter that total, or does Turbotax figure it out?
