What Can Travel nurses Write Off?
Short answer: Travel nurses on W-2 contracts can't deduct expenses federally, but tax-free stipends require a real tax home; 1099 nurses can deduct lodging, mileage, and licenses.
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 for each expense.
