Guys, I've looked through most of the threads on the ridiculous IRS 2555 requirements and still have a couple of questions. The IRS is hounding me about my 2013 tax returns.
1. How do you calculate the time spent over international waters? Do you use an estimate?
2. Do you keep copies of all your flight plans? Unfortunately I didn't keep any flight plans from 2013 and now the !@#$%^&* "auditor" wants them.
3. Per diem: WTF is a per-diem audit report? Since we get a meal allowance in cash, how do you quantify that?
