DIY taxes question

[texas_pilot]

I'm out 142 nights and want to claim the $63 per night. I know where to claim it as a contractor using schedule C, but
am clueless where to claim on 1040 as company man.
I was told Schedule A with 2106 form, but those seem to be motels and meals along with car expenses.
It's not the last minute, but getting close!

What’s the rush?! You got a few hours left. Plenty of time.

This is why it's worth it to just pay someone

Steve now sez you have an extra day because of a "glitch" in the system

You can either file an extension or amend your return after the fact. Both you have to pay what you expect now or risk penalties.

This, finally went to someone this year, got more money back, spent less time and less money than doing it myself.

Form 2106, line 5, column B: You can use $63/day value, prorating first and last days of multi-day trips in accordance with guidelines set forth on page 6 of Publication 463 (linked above). See also Form 2106 instructions for line 5.
