In a similar posting, we established that, without properly establishing a home base for tax purposes, you CANNOT claim the temporary living expenses while working as a traveling nurse.

Use of a post office box is not sufficient.

Using your sister's mailing address as your own is TAX FRAUD, because you are actively representing your sister's address as your own.
