    My husband is being paid to stay at an apartent out of state to work on a two year
    My husband is being paid from his company to stay in an apartment out of state to work on contract work that may last around 2 years or more. He is being paid 1200.00 a month and the rent is 1150 not including the electric, water, trash and cable. This money is deposited into our account separate from his earnings. How do I report this money?
