Form 2106 will not correctly address the 80% DOT Meal and reimbursement issue when I use the correct method above as in prior years (Check the F box and use the DOT Smart Worksheet). I've also tried the Form 2106 Adjustments work sheet in attempt to allocate the DOT Meals and Reimbursement. Neither method produces the correct 80% result.

At the top of Form 2016 it reads "for use only by Armed Forces reservists, qualified performing artists, fee-based state or local government officials and employees with impairment-related work expenses) In other words, trucking employees are SOL unless they live in a state that allows the expenses.

You are correct. The client lives in a state that allows the expenses. However, the Form 2106 will not correctly compute the 80% for DOT Meals. It only produces 50%.
