Question
Paying rent to parents/ Travel nurse stipend
Travel nurses can receive a stipend for living expenses on contract assignments that are apparently tax free. I hear you have to be duplicating expenses though. If someone is a travel nurse and pays rent at their family home. Does the IRS acknowledge this as duplication of rent? And what if you are just renting a room with your parents and they don’t make you pay fair market value for your room? I wish to avoid tax issues if I receive the tax free stipend for rent in my travel state.
