Travel Nurse Staffing Companies

Per Diem Compliance Audits

Travel Nurse staffing companies face unique tax compliance challenges. On top of state and local tax issues, they need to maintain policies and procedures to comply with tax laws allowing tax free reimbursements to travelers. After creating a policy and reviewing the policy and procedures with your attorneys, and training your team on all the procedures, you can't relax. IRS auditors and buyers' tax due diligence teams don't just review your policy. They perform detailed testing of your compliance with your policy. Are you ready?

What are the potential consequences of an IRS audit, if you are not compliant with your own policy? The IRS often will assert that an employer does not have an accountable plan if they find 15%, 10% or even 5% of assignments have compliance "failures". When the accountable plan fails, all reimbursements are treated as taxable wages subject to payroll tax and income tax withholding. Most companies cannot survive that type of tax assessment.

WBL has experience in performing compliance audits including testing 100% of assignments for sleep or rest test and temporary assignment test as well as sample testing for tax home documentation compliance. You should know your exposure before a potential buyer or the IRS. You can't correct process errors if you don't know they exist.
