I am a travel nurse and am on assignment in varying locations for an average of 13-week contracts, while maintaining my tax home in another state. I was out of state for a 26-week contract in which I maintained a lease in the travel state (rent and utilities), and was reimbursed a set amount each month. My rent and utilities accrued an excess of ~$200 per month before taxation of my stipend, but after taxes totaled roughly ~$700 per month in excess.
