    Tax Breaks for the Traveling Contractor

    Greg – It’s tax time and I am confused! A fellow traveler said that I could qualify for special exemptions or refunds, but i don’t know how to proceed. Help!

    Because I am not a tax professional, I cannot tell you specifically how to file, but I can help you with your next steps!  Travel mileage, uniforms (including shoes), meals, rent, and other incidentals related to your out-of-pocket expenses for your specific assignments can qualify you for tax breaks. Although we do not endorse a particular tax service, there are services that specifically cater to travel nurses.  These guys are up-to-speed on the most recent updates and advantages for traveling healthcare professionals. One such firm is called Travel Tax.  You can find their contact details on our website under the RESOURCES tab. Even if you  use a tax firm who doesn’t specialize in the travel industry, make sure that your tax professional understands the nature of your profession and the details surrounding the unique expenditures required of a traveling contractor.
