Want to save time and get a $52 per day deduction on your taxes? Instead of tracking and saving receipts for every meal and beverage, you can take a per diem deduction allowed by the IRS. The per diem for an owner operator is $52 per day for meals, beverages and showers. In order to qualify, you must have a physical home address, be away longer than the normal work day and you must require rest on the road to meet your particular job demands.
