I worked as a per diem nurse in Austin from June-December last year, while keeping a proper 'tax home' in Maryland(bills,drivers license, bank, nursing license all remained in MD).
I am preparing my taxes with an accountant and want to make sure we are doing it right.
He thinks that technically I am on 'travel' the whole time-i.e. I couldn't stay in Maryland and be useful to them in Texas, I therefore get to write off deductions for milage to/from work, housing and meals/incidentals accrued while doing that job.
I just want to see what others have done in this type of situation. I know he is a great accountant and a conservative one at that, but I just want to make sure we are going about this the right way. I am not sure he has prepared a 'per diem' nurse's taxes before.
Thanks for your help
Trust him. I worked 10 months as a traveler, got back a boatload of tax money.. it is the major perk of traveling.Relax and enjoy the money.
