Preparing your tax lab
Preparing your tax lab
Travel nurses often receive compensation packages that may include housing stipends, meal and incidental allowances, and travel-related payments in addition to their regular wages. Because travel nurses frequently accept temporary assignments in different locations, their compensation arrangements can be different from those of traditional employees.
Stipends are payments that may be provided to help cover expenses that can arise while working temporary assignments away from home. These payments are often an important part of a travel nurse's overall compensation package.
Often yes. If you earned income in a state, you may need to file a return there even if you also file in your home state. Multi-state filing rules vary.
Not always. Stipend tax treatment depends on your tax home, assignment length, and whether you are duplicating living expenses. Each situation deserves individual review.
Keep assignment logs, contracts, W-2s, pay stubs, lease or mortgage records for your tax home, and prior-year returns.
