I'm an independent contractor based in WA state. I have traveled on 2 assignments to NE. On both assignments, I was given a flat fee of $230 to cover cost of taxi/Uber to/from airport and check-in bag fees. I was not asked to submit receipts for the money given. Will this travel allowance count as wages towards NE or towards my home state of WA – which does not have a state tax?
