  1. Frustrated & Disillusioned Labor & Delivery Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to AvaRN22's topic in Travel

    Interesting tale. Without hearing this, I would have thought the demand for L&D nurse travelers would have a lot of potential assignments offering to train you to circulate. Apparently that was...

  2. Started first travel assignment. Totally stressed, is it just me?

    NedRN replied to lupe's topic in Travel

    He's been dead for five years. Curious where you talked to

  3. Travel Nursing in Hawaii

    NedRN replied to bluenoser's topic in Travel

    Forget about what's on the site. Talk to actual recruiters. There are far more travelers who want to go to Hawaii than there are jobs. So some agencies may reserve slots for valued travelers, or at...

  4. Travel Nursing in Hawaii

    NedRN replied to bluenoser's topic in Travel

    Try talking to large agencies like Cross Country and American Mobile about your odds. Most job posts online are fake in any

  7. Audit for Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to ryanstum15's topic in Travel

    So let's say one out of a hundred travelers gets audited every year. With around 30,000 nurse travelers, that's around 300 a year. But pick a number. Ever see one that admits it? Well, I think I've...

  9. Audit for Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to ryanstum15's topic in Travel

    If the risk reward was no audit versus 1% chance of 10 years in jail for tax fraud, or $170,000 back taxes, interest, and penalties: which would you do? Not worth it for me. Better not to mess with...

  10. Audit for Travel Nurse

    NedRN replied to ryanstum15's topic in Travel

    There are a lot of tax guys that make a good living doing audit defense, including travelers. Your math is way off too. The odds of an audit in our tax bracket is one percent annually (possibly...

  11. Your decisions on extending

    NedRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Travel

    Tax home requirements and protecting existing tax homes are indeed the subject. However, the information your guy is giving you is quite unique. It might work somehow in your situation, but is...

  12. Your decisions on extending

    NedRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Travel

    That's interesting advice from a CPA. I'd like to know where he picked that up from. While he could know a lot about this issue, his training is primarily in corporate accounting, not individual...

  13. Your decisions on extending

    NedRN replied to jive turkey's topic in Travel

    I concur with the first and last part of your post. The 1 month, 11 months, and 3 months are internal agency policies (of one agency) and will not hold up in a personal tax audit. They are designed...

  14. Travel nurse without the travel?

    NedRN replied to Hangin'On,RN's topic in Travel

    Who likes paying taxes? But it is the law and it sure sounds like you are breaking it on purpose. I'd be happy to help you know if you are paying the correct amount. Just give me your contact info and...

  15. Travel nurse without the travel?

    NedRN replied to Hangin'On,RN's topic in Travel

    There is a big difference between taking legal loopholes (more of which are available to the wealthy) and fraud. No matter how much you make. Consequences include

  16. Soon to be grad, future plans

    NedRN replied to arrohde's topic in Travel

    There are some situations, admittedly rare, where having an agency between you and the hospital is advantageous. Many employers, not just agencies, tend to mess up pay. I'm not going to argue the case...

  19. Own a home without a mortgage payment: Is it still a Tax home?

    NedRN replied to YomiAmour's topic in Travel

    There is this whole theory of duplicated expenses when you are working away from home to make a legitimate tax deduction (or accept "reimbursements" like a housing stipend from an agency). However I...

  20. Own a home without a mortgage payment: Is it still a Tax home?

    NedRN replied to YomiAmour's topic in Travel

    Yes. You are incurring expenses maintaining your tax home residence. Ownership by you, the bank, or a landlord is not a relevant

  21. Travel Nursing Dilemma(Sorry long post)

    NedRN replied to withersp's topic in Travel

    Could you reveal who is behind door A and B? (not the recruiter name, just the agency) It is helpful to others to get a picture of agency culture to start choosing who to call. Generally I believe...

  22. Travel Nursing Dilemma(Sorry long post)

    NedRN replied to withersp's topic in Travel

    There is no such thing as a must do now assignment. You will have great opportunities in the future. Keep company B and just let them know you cannot deliver the certification in their required time...

  24. Living in an RV. Need tax help

    NedRN replied to AshevilleRN's topic in Travel

    You don't have to work at home, but it certainly helps solidify your tax home. The IRS says you have to return home "regularly". Not that helpful, but if you really have a home, you will want to...
