Thousands of flight crewmembers either overpay their taxes or simply do their flight crew taxes incorrectly each year. When you overpay, you unnecessarily give the IRS money that they are not entitled to.  If you do them incorrectly, you unnecessarily expose yourself to a tax audit and risk losing those deductions along with the added burden of penalties and interest if they are ever examined.

There is a better way.

EZPerDiem enables flight crewmembers to prepare their flight crew taxes accurately, affordably, and in record-time - all online. Every year, thousands of pilots and flight attendants return to EZPerDiem for their flight crew tax preparation, and here are a few reasons why you should do the same.

You Can Still Use Your Local Tax Preparer

Perhaps the single-greatest reason EZPerDiem was created was because local tax preparers in your neighborhood simply do not properly do flight crew tax preparation.  When you use a local tax preparer that is not intimately familiar with the complex issues of preparing the aviation portion of your tax return, you end up with mistakes.  Not sometimes.  Not occasionally.  Always!

And these mistakes cause sign_up.htmlthree possible problems:

• Problem #1 - You spend more money than you need to.
• Problem #2 - You get shorted on your tax refund.
• Problem #3 - You have errors that could cause you receive and lose a tax audit.

EZPerDiem solves all three of these issues, and you don't need to give up your local tax preparer.  You simply use EZPerDiem for the flight crew part and give the tax preparer the data from EZPerDiem so he or she can prepare the rest of your taxes.

When you use EZPerDiem in conjunction with your local tax preparer, you can easily find and calculate the flight crew tax deductions that local tax preparers either miss, over-inflate, or under-value.  EZPerDiem generates a very accurate per diem deduction, which your local tax preparer simply never does correctly.

If it seems we are being a little hard on local tax preparers with regard to the per diem deduction, it is only because we see their work, and in some cases, crews are being shorted thousands of dollars.

Why do local tax preparers get this calculation so wrong?  Because without using a service like EZPerDiem, calculating the per diem deduction using the the full city-by-city method would take most of the day - not something a typical tax preparer will do when they charge over $50-$100 per hour and have hundreds of other tax returns to do!  It just doesn't happen. 

If you intend to write-off flight crew expenses for your tax returns, you absolutely need to use a service dedicated to flight crew tax preparation.  EZPerDiem wants to be that flight crew tax service, which is why we built tools and features to make it easier than ever to use.

When you finish with EZPerDiem you will be able to use the applicable Tax Software guide to enter your data easily into these programs.

Get Bigger Tax Refunds

Simplification

Without a service like EZPerDiem to help you, flight crew taxes can be extremely complicated.  But flight crew tax deductions can add such a significant amount of money to your tax refund, it isn't something you want to simply let go.

EZPerDiem makes flight crew tax preparation simple.  Really simple!

If you have ever attempted to manually do the per diem deduction by hand, you know how cumbersome it is.  Not only does it take a lot of time, generally a full day, but your result is likely to be plagued with errors.  This happens in part because every city can have several per diem rates that change depending on when they happen.  In other words, a city's per diem rate might very well be different in January from that same city's per diem rate in June.  There are thousands of rows of data that the government puts out for this tax deduction.  Every location in the world has a per diem rate associated with it.  It is just not something that can be done well by hand.

But EZPerDiem makes it easy to do this.  EZPerDiem links all of the airport codes to the applicable cities so that all you have to do is enter your layovers next to the dates they ocurred.  The results are instantly calculated, and you get a very detailed report that shows you how to enter the calculations in your tax return.

2. EZPerDiem helps you track and substantiate (i.e. record according to IRS rules) any other flight crew expenses you incurred so you can print if you are ever audited.

EZPerDiem lets you effortlessly record, sort, list, calculate, and print every flight-related expense you have so you can quickly finish your flight crew tax preparation.

Reports

In addition, you can also print all of your substantiated expenses for the year to provide all of the detail you need to document your expenses for the entire year.  This meets and exceeds the record-keeping requirements described in IRS Publication 463.
