No, that is not a tax home, it is an address of convenience, established at the same time you became an itinerant worker. If you are audited, you won't win. I'm not really qualified to tell you how to...
Depends on where you live in Ohio, but I believe most residents have to contend with Ohio State income tax, RITA (municipality tax), and school tax (plus more school related taxes on property that...
Unless you are from a no-income state, you will pay California roughly proportional to the time worked there versus other states. If you just did one assignment, it is unlikely you will notice that...
Nope, exactly the opposite. Just like a travel nurse, exposure to other ways of doing things makes for a stronger nurse, and one capable of cross pollinating best
Try a search here about health insurance. The topic for travelers comes up often and has been much discussed. No, you cannot deduct health insurance currently, unless you meet the really high...

That is probably correct, although there is a balance that agencies, especially larger agencies should meet for their own risk reduction. At least that is the gospel as taught by TravelTax to...

The IRS can flag returns based on large shifts of income, say 20K one year and 100K the next, but that is very unusual to do so in our income bracket. That would result in their auditing large numbers...
There are barely any two week contracts in this country (mostly strikes) and I don't think you want to go through the months of hassle getting a foreign license for two weeks work at less pay than you...
Most states are between 5 and 8 years lapse before a new application from scratch is required. Many states can be renewed almost instantly if lapsed less than this threshold period, usually with a...
Any occupational health office would be the easiest. Faster than a primary care doc or similar. It is possible that Labcorp/Quest will do them too - if so, get a script from a friendly doc. I would...
It is a no go but a moderator will either have to spot it (I've seen names removed months later) or someone has to report it. That little yellow triangle with the exclamation point on it is how to...

Do you have licenses in both places? They both will take some time. If you have worked in both places, which do you prefer? Have you looked at and considered how much the actual cost of housing will...
Thanks for that. I missed it. If that is what happened, you are right. I'm still not sure I have the full story. How can you physically move from an address and still claim to reside there? How can...
By the way, I would recommend not working in TX. Besides a nasty BON, working conditions are typically poor with hostile management and docs (which leads to a high BON report rate), and high patient...
Sifting through your posts, this is what looks like what happened on the ground: You stopped working at your staff job in MO 6 or 7 weeks weeks ago and took an immediate travel assignment in SC...
Then you have no issues at all. Using a compact license from a state you don't live in, and using your parent's address for a tax home where you have never lived. I think you have it nailed. What's...
I don't think there is anything else we could tell you about licensure. No matter what we say, it is only prudent to check with the boards. If you physically moved out of state 6 weeks ago, then you...
The requirements to hold a compact license do not necessarily require maintenance of a residence (as tax home rules require). As such, I suspect you have some time while your former MO address is...
If you get written references, they will be bothered much less. The written references will be verified (often just by verifying the referee worked there when it was written) and your professional...
You are not proficient enough to consider travel. It is possible you can find a travel assignment that is narrow enough, but unlikely, and even more unlikely will you be able to find steady work....
