License and tax basics
Washington is not in the compact as of October 15, 2026, so work in Tacoma needs a Washington license by endorsement. Washington does not tax wage income at the state level. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply, so your take-home pay is higher than the same gross pay in a state that taxes wages. Travel assignments add a second question, your tax home, which decides whether housing and meals stipends are tax-free. Run your own numbers in the take-home pay calculator and the travel nurse pay calculator.
