Can I claim the full Government Per Diem

Posted By: MTL on 2007-03-23

I am self employed and paid via 1099 from my clients. I travel 100% of the time and pay ALL of my own expenses. Since I am new to the self-employed environment, I fail to save receipts. Here is a scenario: If I travel to New York City for a week and stay in hotels for 4 days, can I just take the Government Per Diem of $250/day as my tax deduction ?? OR, do I actually have to write off my actual expenses ?? Problem is, I don't have multiple receipts.
