I am on an international assignment and getting meals and incidentals per diem allowance set according to the US Federal Govt rates. However, I am not using the entire amount i.e., I am able to save some of it. Is this saved amount taxable?? Consider the following facts:
1. This is an accountable plan
2. Per diem amount is not reported on W2
3. When I checked pub 463, this example was given which means I don't need to report anything:"In April, Jeremy takes a 2-day
business trip to Denver. The federal rate for
Denver is $173 per day. As required by his
employer’s accountable plan, he accounts for
the time (dates), place, and business purpose of
the trip. His employer reimburses him $173 a
day ($346 total) for living expenses. Jeremy’s
living expenses in Denver are not more than
$173 a day. Jeremy’s employer does not include any of
the reimbursement on his Form W-2 and Jeremy
does not deduct the expenses on his return."

If I understood this wrongly, how does one report this? Tax form??

She would be 33 yrs old and was living in MD a few years ago. She may be married so Obrien may not be her last name any more. I believe she is a nurse.

Picking the boys name was fairly easy. We both liked Jackson and then used our fathers names as the middles, so we got
Jackson David James Nixon
What do you guys think?
Girls names have been more challenging. Mom's names are Judith and Jessie, so want to use those as middles. Some choices for first names are
McKenna (I like but Dad not so sure)
Sally
Rowen
Bailey
Scotlyne
Tyler
Tweed
Rylee
Anyone have any suggestions or ways to arrange these names for a girl?
Thanx!

When a child is named after his father he becomes for example John Junior, but it isnt the same if a child is named after the mother? As you never hear of a female being either Janet Senior/Junior.

All you guys out there, let's say there is a girl you see everyday, pretty. Do you imagine it will be possible to just fall in love with her because there is just something about her that makes you feel very curious about her or makes you drawn to her? But you have never really talked to her before.

And if it is possible, and you still see her everyday, how long do you think your attraction to her will hold? Is it possible for you men to really really like someone whom you have never talked to?

make Obama look weak, thin-skinned and even woefully less than qualified to lead this country,with all of their whining about people complimenting him for being articulate? Holy crud! To be articulate is a good thing. Why do liberals feel compelled to try to turn everything concievable into a race issue to use for their own agenda.

I keep on and keep on having dreams about other guys... I don't want to, I love my husband, its ...ugh! The worst part about it is, in my dream, they are actually trying to convince me that the relationship i am in now with my hubby isn't right.

This has been going on for months now, and it won't stop, how can i make them stop?

Messaging, social networking and other internet services offer children and young people fantastic opportunities to express themselves, be creative and develop new skills. But kids can sometimes share too much information about themselves in order to be ‘cool’ online and people they communicate with may not be who they say they are. How do we get kids to take these risks seriously without taking the fun out of the internet?
