Using Per Diem for Meals and Lodging Instead of Actual

[Eric C.]

Is it possible to use IRS per diem amounts for both meals and lodging when visiting OOS rentals for allowable business related activities?  I just want to simplify my record keeping and don't want to keep track of every little expense.

 Yes for meals. No for lodging.
