The IRS has released its 2026–2027 per diem rates for certain business travel expenses, effective Oct. 1, 2026. Under the high-low substantiation method, the rate for lodging, meals and incidental expenses for travel to high-cost localities within the continental United States (CONUS) rises to $329 per day, from $319. The rate for other CONUS localities rises to $230, from $225. The portion attributable to meals remains $86 for high-cost areas and $74 for other areas. The incidental-expenses-only rate remains $5. Employers can pay more than the IRS per diem rates, but excess amounts generally must be substantiated or treated as taxable wages.

When employees change jobs, they often leave behind balances in a previous employer’s 401(k) plan. If your plan accepts rollovers, making it easier for eligible employees to move those balances into your plan can boost participation and engagement. Rollovers may also increase plan assets, which could help you negotiate lower plan services and fees. Meanwhile, providing departing and former employees with rollover instructions may reduce abandoned accounts and plan administration costs. Call us at (361) 854-0822 for guidance on managing your employer-sponsored retirement plan effectively.
