Default tax question

can you itemize and still take the standard per diem rate for meals?

You can't take the per diem if you don't itemize. I don't believe there is a line for it on the 1040 EZ.

Yep, in order to claim the meal allowance you must itemize. You can claim either the standard allowance or actual expenses.
