Can You Write Off Travel Nurse Mileage?
Short answer: W-2 travel nurses can't deduct mileage; agency stipends for travel are tax-free only if you keep a real tax home.
W-2 employees can't deduct unreimbursed job expenses on a federal return through at least 2026 (the miscellaneous itemized deduction is gone); ask your employer for an accountable-plan reimbursement instead.
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.
