Highlights

An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) official requested a decision concerning an employee's claim for reimbursement of additional temporary quarters subsistence expenses and real estate transaction expenses. GAO held that: (1) the calculation of the cost of lodging and furniture rental for temporary quarters occupancy should include the days the employee was away on personal business, but exclude the days the employee was away on official business; (2) the claimant was entitled to reimbursement of the copying costs paid to the closing attorney and related recording fees; and (3) the claimant was entitled to reimbursement of courier costs only if the service was required by the lender. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
