Hello, I am a new member and appreciate the chance to ask you guys questions. I live about 50 miles north of minneapolis and have looked into "local travel" positions. I have not ever done travel before. The company says it can give me a large weekly stipenp, per law, because my assignment is over 50 miles from my home. they said this is tax free. I told them i will be going back and forth home every nite and they said it was ok. Is this right?? Is there a predetermined weekly tax free stipend, or per diem, that can be given, or am I supposed to be using that money for hotels, meals, etc? will the IRS ask me for receipts of what i did with the stipend? I am supposed to get back to them asap, but am nervous. plz help.. thx, jgoyett
