Need to confirm...what is the standard m&ie (per diem) rate for 2026?

Good day, Allman. Regarding the standard rate for M&IE (Meals and Incidental Expenses), we can’t confirm the exact amounts as these rates are not product or feature managed by QuickBooks. Since per diem rates are set by federal agencies rather than accounting software, it is best to get this information directly from the source.

 

To ensure your figures are legally accurate for your 2026 taxes, please visit the official U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) website. They provide the most up-to-date rates based on your specific travel dates and locations.

 

If you have any other questions about managing your expenses in QuickBooks, feel free to reply. We're happy to help.
