Tax Home Rules for Locum Physicians
- Your tax home is where you regularly work and live — not where you grew up
- Travel expenses are deductible if your assignment is > 50 miles from tax home and requires overnight stay
- Commuting from home to a local hospital is NOT deductible
- Keep a mileage log with dates, destinations, and purpose — IRS requires documentation
Consult a CPA familiar with 1099 physician taxes. Rules vary by state and filing strategy.
