Partners in Business tip: Have a fixed residence

One way to avoid an IRS audit is to make sure you have an established residence where you collect mail, even if it’s a parent’s house you rarely visit. Without a home to be away from, you don’t qualify for the daily per diem write-off for meals.

The Partners in Business program is produced by Overdrive and the consultants at ATBS, the nation’s largest owner-operator business services firm. Download the comprehensive “Partners in Business” owner-operator business manual, covering topics from start-up to expansion with multiple trucks.
