I received per diem reported on W-2 block 14. The employer does not require employees to submit expense reports. Is the amount in block 14 considered taxable? If so, how to I add to my income?

*IF* it is taxable, Box 1 (and the other boxes) should already reflect that income.

The purpose of a "Per Diem" is do you don't need to submit expense reports. The employer only needs something to indicate you were out-of-town for business.
