Commuting

For tax purposes, travel expenses are the ordinary and necessary expenses (defined earlier in IRS publication page 17) of traveling away from home for your business, profession, or job. You should always be aware of how long you are on assignment and the commuting rules. However, our recruiters and tax department will monitor your status and inform you of any issues and/or problems. (If you fail to meet each area of the rules then all travel costs will be treated as taxable income beginning with the first day of the assignment. Any expenses incurred from meals, mileage, and housing is subject to payroll tax withholding.)
