Tax home rules for travel nurses

Varies

Can You Write Off Tax Home Rules for Travel Nurses?

Short answer: Stipends are tax-free only if you maintain a permanent home you pay for and return to; without one, stipends become taxable wages.

Duplicating living costs is the key test.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, 1099s or W-2s, a mileage log, and a note of the business purpose. W-2 employees should ask about employer reimbursement.
