The details
Trucker workflow, in detail
Per diem by the day
Log full days and the partial first or last day of a trip, inside or outside the continental US. Full days count at 100%, partial days at 75%, and the meals deduction at 80%.
Lodging, sleeper cab included
Record each overnight stay as a hotel or motel, other accommodation or the sleeper cab, with what it cost, so the trip record is complete when someone asks where you slept.
IFTA miles by state
Add route segments with the states you drove through, then download the IFTA mileage report for the period you are filing, instead of adding up state miles by hand at quarter end.
HVUT and Schedule C
Track your Form 2290 heavy vehicle use tax and get a warning when it is overdue. Per-diem totals feed Schedule C lines 24a and 24b, in a summary you can copy for your tax professional.
