My Tax Crew is a full-service CPA firm, specializing in serving the needs of professional pilots and flight attendants. One of the most time consuming steps in preparing tax returns for this group relates to calculations for per-diem meal allowances - as rates vary by city, country, date or season. Previously, the creation of per-diem reports was manual and had to be computed for flights traveling between different time zones and frequently changing government published rates and schedules. The challenges were to automate the manual processes of updating the rate databases and then calculating the allowable deductions for each trip, airport, city and country. An annual report is generated for each user's tax-deductible meal expenses to submit to the IRS.

Dynamic developed an internet site to allow users to enter their individual trip information into a database, logging trip numbers, report times, dates, layover cities and block times for each trip. Data may be entered all at once, or over the course of the year. Once a user has completed entering their data, they purchase their annual Per-Diem Expense Report through a secure credit card transaction. Reports can be reviewed and edited before the final data is submitted to My Tax Crew for use in preparing Federal and State tax returns.

In addition, Dynamic created a back-end system to allow the import of new government rates, as well as the ability to access and update information in the various databases. The results of the automation process has increased new membership and reduced labor costs.
