License and tax basics

Massachusetts has enacted the compact but has not implemented it as of October 15, 2026, so work in Worcester needs a Massachusetts license by endorsement. Massachusetts 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.
