Maximizing Your Income With Tax Advantages
Working as a traveling nurse has its share of tax advantages. Travel nursing involves working for extended periods away from your permanent residence. This means you have to maintain both a temporary living space and your actual dwelling. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has specific policies in place for healthcare professionals who fall into this scenario.
Depending on your living situation, you could be eligible for IRS-provided financial reimbursements that are set at government rates. The main perk of these temporary living reimbursements is that there is no need to pay taxes on the funds you receive. You must meet the eligibility guidelines provided by the IRS before you can collect reimbursements.
Our recruiters want the best for your financial situation. Be sure to ask your recruiter for additional guidance regarding reimbursement plans.
