"onassignment" housing stipend!!!!

Published

ok i just got off the phone with a recruiter from Onassignment who says that the housing stipend plus meal stipend per DAY in phoenix is 115 which equals 3450 per month and he says it not taxable plus he is offering me a pretty good hourly rate and told me it is all going to be in the contract....now that sounds like a huge stipend.....has anyone worked for this company? iam not sure if he was being honest since its hard to believe that i'd get that much. he says its cuz a lot of people dont want to go to phoenix in the summers and ill be going in august....i dont know..???

If you have a permanent tax home, then you can take the per diem part of the stipend, which is anywhere from $50-80 per day, depending on what the state allows. If you do not have a permanent tax home, meaning a place you maintain while traveling and pay rent/mortgage for, then at tax time, you could be in trouble. I have worked with OA and I love them. I usually take the housing they provide and then take the per diem stipend since I still own a home.
