Cascade's 1065 is filed and both K-1s are out.

Avery Sinclair

Their drivers are on per-diem. Owen thinks they have been over-reimbursing.

October 3

Daniel Reyes

Send me the log and I will check it against the federal rate. Anything above it is wages, not reimbursement — it has to run through payroll and it is subject to withholding.

It is a common and entirely fixable error. Caught in-year it is a payroll adjustment; caught by an examiner it is three years of them.

Log attached.

Per-diem log — drivers, 2026.pdf196 KB

Sunday, October 18

Daniel Reyes

Checked. They are $12 a day over the transportation rate for 214 driver-days — about $2,600 of excess for the year.

Small enough to true up on the December payroll and be done with it. I have written the adjustment; your bookkeeper can post it.
