License and tax basics

Illinois is not in the compact as of October 15, 2026, so work in Waukegan needs a Illinois license by endorsement. Illinois taxes wage income, and rates and rules change, so use the current rate from your state tax agency. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare apply on top. If you work here on a travel assignment, your tax home decides whether housing and meals stipends are tax-free, and that is a question for your tax professional. Put your own rates into the take-home pay calculator and the travel nurse pay calculator.
