Reimbursement Program
While travel can be a major component in improving the lives of medical and healthcare professionals, we also want to make that aspect of your job headache-free. The Federal Government recognizes the costly expenses uniquely associated with travel work assignments. In accordance with these expenses, the government has established specific guidelines for non-taxable reimbursement. The amount of the reimbursements cannot exceed the established government rates, which they have developed through extensive research and estimating average food and housing costs for areas throughout the U.S.
Travel personnel must meet the following requirements to receive this special tax benefit:
- You must have a permanent tax residence where you usually live and pay taxes.
- Your permanent residence must be different from your temporary work residence and be a certain distance from your home. You must live near your temporary work assignment. If you return to your permanent home after your shifts, you will not qualify for the travel deductions.
- Your temporary assignment must be less than one year in length. If you work more than one year on an assignment, your reimbursed travel expenses are then treated as taxable income.
- You must complete and keep on file with MSG Staffing the Permanent Tax Residence Notification form to ensure your file has the necessary information.
