» All The Way From: Massachusetts ... Dear TaxMama, Can college professors use the OCONUS (Outside Continental United States) rates for Lodging as well as Meals (on Form 2106) or are they required to submit actual expenses incurred for lodging and travel? Professor David ![]() Dear Professor Dave, The rate is permissible for 'employees.' Most professors are on payroll. But be careful, have lots of documentation that the trip outside the US really was primarily for business purposes, not just a disguised vacation. So, keep all the actual expense records to substantiate the number of nights, etc. And keep an appt book or logs to show how the time in that country was spent. I hope this helps.
