Unlock Fleet Tax Savings Using Per Diem
The freight industry's landscape is evolving, and as diesel prices rise, fleet managers like you face challenges. However, here's the silver lining: optimizing your driver per diem can be a game-changer. Many fleets overlook the tax-deductible benefits of per diem, leaving money on the table.
In 2021 and 2022, Congress raised the trucker per diem deduction to 100%, making it even more enticing. But some might think that at 80% deductibility, per diem won't save much. That's where they're mistaken.
Case Study: Tax Savings
Let's break it down with a case study for a 25-truck fleet. The motor carriers realizes $71,428 or $2,857 per driver in savings. For married drivers earning $65,000 annually, the potential tax savings are around $3,457 or $0.03 cents per mile. Single over-the-road drivers in the same income bracket can save roughly $4,485, or $0.04 cents per mile. The fleet achieves

WASHINGTON – As part of a larger effort to protect small businesses and organizations from scams, the Internal Revenue Service today announced the details of a special withdrawal process to help those who filed an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claim and are concerned about its accuracy.
This new withdrawal option allows certain employers that filed an Employee Retention Credit claim but have not yet received a refund to withdraw the claim. Employers that submitted an ERC claim can withdraw their claim and avoid the possibility of getting a refund for which they’re ineligible.
Who can ask to withdraw an ERC claim
Employers can use the ERC claim withdrawal process if all of the following apply:
Taxpayers who are not eligible to use the withdrawal process can reduce or eliminate their ERC claim by filing an amended return. For details, see the Correcting an ERC claim – Amending a return section of the frequently asked questions about the ERC.
How to withdraw an ERC claim
To take advantage of the claim withdrawal procedure, taxpayers should carefully follow the special instructions at IRS.gov/withdrawmyERC, summarized below.
Should fax withdrawal requests to the IRS using a computer or mobile device.
The IRS has set up a special fax line to receive withdrawal requests. This enables the agency to stop processing before the refund is approved. Taxpayers who are unable to fax their withdrawal can mail their request, but this will take longer for the IRS to receive.
Employers who have been notified they are under audit:
Those who received a refund check, but haven’t cashed or deposited it, can still withdraw their claim. They should mail the voided check with their withdrawal request using the instructions at IRS.gov/withdrawmyERC.
Upcoming webinar and other resources for help
Tax professionals and others can register for a Nov. 2 IRS webinar, Employee Retention Credit: Latest information on the moratorium and options for withdrawing or correcting previously filed claims. Those who can’t attend can view a recording later.
This tax credit program that was poorly designed by Congress at the outset. Creating an escape route for taxpayers who fell victim to ERC scammers is a prudent response by the IRS. The ability to withdraw an ERC claim should eliminate thousands of unnecessary audits and criminal prosecutions for a

"Can I claim my emotional support dog as a tax deduction" is a common questioned posed to tax professionals by long-haul truckers. Every pet owner claims their animal is a member of the family and they are an essential companion for thousands of truckers. The emergence of the "Emotional Support" registration industry reinforces this fact.
It understandable that taxpayers may want to recoup some of their emotional support dog expenses with a creative medical expense tax deduction[i]. To counter the urge to claim Fido as a tax deduction the IRS has promulgated guidance on what type of animals qualify.
Mark Sullivan Consulting Launches New Income Tax Preparation Service for Truckers
How does the IRS define a service dog versus an emotional support dog?
The IRS does not offer a definition of a "service dog" oe "emotional support" animal, but guidance can be gleaned from the Americans With Disability Act (ADA). Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability. An animal is defined as "emotional support" when it has not been specifically trained, for example:
A review of IRC § 213 is required to answer the question, "Can I use my emotional support dog as a tax deduction?" The costs of buying, training, and maintaining a service animal to assist an individual with mental disabilities may qualify as medical care if the taxpayer can establish that the taxpayer is using the service animal primarily for medical care to alleviate a mental defect or illness and that the taxpayer would not have paid the expenses but for the disease or illness.
IRS Chief Counsel Note: A taxpayer who claims that an expense of a peculiarly personal nature is primarily for medical care must establish that fact. The courts have looked toward objective factors to determine whether an otherwise personal expense is for medical care:
A personal expense is not deductible as medical care if the taxpayer would have paid the expense even in the absence of a medical condition. Commissioner v. Jacobs, 62 T.C. 813 (1974). [ii]
You can include in medical expenses:
In general, this includes any costs, such as food, grooming, and veterinary care, incurred in maintaining the health and vitality of the service animal so that it may perform its duties.

Flying With A Service Dog? Here's Everything You Need To Know (Becca Bond, The Points Guy, 9/12/23)
What Is The IRS Definition Of A Service Dog?
IRS Orders Immediate Stop To New Employee Retention Credit Claims (IRS Newswire, 9/14/23)
Generally, you can deduct on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions (Form 1040) only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). However, with tax reform drastically increasing the Standard Deduction (2022: $12,950 Single, $25,900 Married) most taxpayers will not have sufficient itemized deductions to warrant pursuing a tax break for their pet expenses.
No, emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals are not considered service animals under the ADA. These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
"Prior to January 2021, the law allowed emotional support animals to fly with documentation from a medical doctor verifying the animal was necessary for comforting the passenger. ESAs did not have to be trained. But after rampant abuse of the system that included people taking everything from peacocks to snakes to untrained and aggressive dogs on flights, the DOT revised its regulations to allow airlines to ban ESAs from the skies. Although the ultimate decision was left up to the airlines themselves, all major U.S. and Canadian carriers quickly changed their policies to stop non-ESA pets from flying. You can still fly with a small dog (under 25 pounds), but the pup must be in a carrier and you will need to pay the airline pet fee to fly."
Becca Bond, The Points Guy (9/12/23)
Can I use my dog as a tax deduction if it guards my truck? The absence of specific guidance on guard dogs from IRS compels a taxpayer to evaluate the appropriateness of claiming a tax deduction for expenses related to a guard dog used to protect a truck that is constantly on the move as opposed to a drop-yard or terminal. Kay Bell writing for Bankrate.com provided a great analysis,
“That “Beware of dog” sign in your business’s window is no idle threat. Break-ins have stopped since you set up a place for your Rottweiler to stay overnight. In this case, the IRS would likely be amenable to business deduction claims of the animal’s work-related expenses.
Standard business deduction rules still apply, notably that the cost of keeping an animal on work premises is ordinary and necessary in your line of business. Once you show that, the dollars spent each year keeping your pooch in good guard condition — food, vet bills and training — would be deductible as a business expense.
As with all deductions, be prepared to provide full and accurate records of your animal’s hours on the job. You’ll also find your tax claim more acceptable when you demonstrate how the animal protects your livelihood inventory. In addition, as is often the case with business property, the dog must be depreciated, a way of allocating its cost over its useful life for IRS purposes.
Keep in mind, too, that your claims carry more weight when your pet is a breed that’s typically used for such jobs. So even though your Chihuahua has a loud bark, your tax claim is more credible if your guard dog is a German shepherd, Doberman pinscher or a similar imposing breed”.[iv]
Can I use my dog as a tax deduction? Maybe. Every pet owner claims their animal is a member of the family and an essential companion for thousands of long-haul truckers. The IRS disagrees. It understandable that taxpayers may want to recoup some of their pet expenses with a tax deduction, but with the overall value of the deduction is limited due to the 7.5% of AGI offsetting most expenses. Furthermore, extensive rules have been promulgated to insure only qualifying animal expenses can be deducted and taxpayers risk the wrath of the IRS if they get too creative interpreting those regulations.

Moratorium on processing of new Employee Retention Credit claims through year’s end will allow IRS to add more safeguards to prevent future abuse, protect businesses from predatory tactics; IRS working with Justice Department to pursue fraud fueled by aggressive marketing.
WASHINGTON – Amid rising concerns about a flood of improper Employee Retention Credit claims, the Internal Revenue Service today announced an immediate moratorium through at least the end of the year on processing new claims for the pandemic-era relief program to protect honest small business owners from scams. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel ordered the immediate moratorium, beginning today, to run through at least Dec. 31 following growing concerns inside the tax agency, from tax professionals as well as media reports that a substantial share of new claims from the aging program are ineligible. This increasingly is putting businesses at financial risk by being pressured and scammed by aggressive promoters and marketing. The IRS continues to work previously filed Employee Retention Credit (ERC) claims received prior to the moratorium but renewed a reminder that increased fraud concerns means processing times will be longer.
On July 26, the agency announced it was increasingly shifting its focus to review these claims for compliance concerns, including intensifying audit work and criminal investigations on promoters and businesses filing dubious claims. The IRS announced today that hundreds of criminal cases are being worked, and thousands of ERC claims have been referred for audit.
This action by the IRS is long overdue. These scammers lure taxpayers with promises of fast money, an "easy application process" and lie about eligibility in exchange for sizeable fees. Unfortunately, unwitting taxpayers selected for audit will learn the time spent filing an ERC will pale in comparison to assembling documentation to substantiate eligibility for the claim.

The freight market has experienced steady softening over the past year while diesel prices have gained more than 40 cents from a month ago. So how can fleets mitigate softening freight rates and the exploding cost of fuel? Most fleets aren’t maximizing the tax deductible benefits of per diem, leaving thousands of dollars per driver on the table every year. Below is a guide on how best to manage this within your carrier operation, and unlock significant fleet savings while boosting driver pay amid economic uncertainty and record inflation.
Although Congress temporarily increased the trucker per diem deduction to 100% for 2021 and 2022, there is a common misconception in the industry that at 80% deductibility, per diem will not save a motor carrier money. The below tables prove otherwise.
Assumptions
The following analysis assumes:
Twenty-three states are members of the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), and 39 rely on NCCI regulations. Under NCCI rules, a motor carrier paying substantiated per diem under an IRS-accountable plan can exclude up to $69/day of per diem from taxable wages, which provides a significant per driver annual savings to a fleet. (IRS Publishes 2024 Trucker Per Diem Rates)
Even with growing economic uncertainty and recessionary clouds on the horizon, Congress elected not to extend the 100% deduction for per diem. However, a motor carrier that implements an automated per diem solution will be in a stronger position to weather the economic storm.
As of January 1, 2018, employee drivers can no longer claim per diem as an itemized deduction on their federal income tax return. However, motor carriers can offer per diem to employee drivers to recapture the lost tax savings. The average Married over-the-road driver earning $65,000 annually will save approximately $3,457 in federal income taxes equivalent to $0.03 cents per mile.
The average Single over-the-road driver earning $65,000 annually will save approximately $4,485 in federal income taxes equivalent to $0.04 cents per mile.
In short, you are virtually always better off leveraging a fixed $69/day (as of this writing) to maximize your per diem tax offset from wages.
