Tax Problem - Need Lic in Another State

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I went to renew my RN lic. in my home state. There is a "hold" on my lic due to owing State taxes. Now my lic. has just expired. Can I get a lic. in another state without having a current lic. anywhere? I had a lic. in another state before but didn't think I'd need it so it too has expired. I was told that I could re-instate the 2nd lic. but will they require I have a current lic. in my home state? In other words, I've got to find somewhere or some way to get a lic. to work...anywhere, until I can pay my taxes in my home state.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you have to pay your taxes or work out a plan with the state. Sorry no work around.

You can apply in another state without having active license in original state.. BUT.. there will be a question on there about having been suspended/revoked/refused in any other state licenses before, so you'll have to fess up. You should pay your taxes.

What a great idea by the state!

This is the reason why states want your SSN, it is there way of gaining income. You can't work in your home state without a license so the only way is to pay your taxes or make arrangements for payment.
