The Basics
As a clinician user on the Nursa App you are considered an 1099 independent contractor and you will file taxes via a 1099 tax form. This is the form you will use to report non-employment income (the income you earned as an independent contractor on the Nursa App). This means that you may need to track your income and document your expenses because the IRS may require you to file taxes on the amount that Nursa pays you each year.
When you view the pay on a shift card on the app or website, you will see your actual hourly pay without any tax deductions. You can find more information about Nursa 1099 Tax Forms in our tax guide.
Note: Nursa does not take any taxes out of your paycheck, which means you are responsible for managing and reporting your income when you file your taxes every year.
We know filing taxes can be confusing, so here is some basic information and resources to help you navigate the process.
DISCLAIMER: Nursa cannot offer tax advice; if you have specific questions, need tax advice, or are unsure about your unique tax situation, we recommend reaching out to a tax professional. The information contained in this guide shall not be considered tax advice. |

FAQs
Q: What is a 1099-NEC tax form?
A: 1099-NEC forms are federal income tax information forms used to report earnings and proceeds other than wages, salaries and tips (which are reported on the federal W-2 form). The forms are filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and, if required, state tax departments. A 1099-NEC form summarizes Nursa Clinician earnings as independent contractors in the US. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you earn $600 or more in 2023. If you have made more than $600 on the Nursa App platform, you’ll need this form to file your taxes.
Q: How can I see the exact amount I made with Nursa in 2023?
A: While there is no running total, you can access your payment paystubs from 2023 in the app. You can also complete this request form to receive your paystubs via email.
Q: If I worked before Dec 31, 2023 but won’t get paid until Jan 1, 2024 or later, will that count toward my 2023 taxes?
A: The 1099 and tax year reflect the date you were PAID and not the date you worked a shift. If you were paid on Jan 1, 2024 or after, it will be included in your 2024 1099.
Q: How will I receive my tax form?
A: You will either receive the form via e-delivery in the app or through the mail. You will need to opt into e-delivery by going to the Nursa Wallet and verifying your information and selecting that you opt-in to e-delivery.
Q: What if I have been banned from the app and can no longer log in?
A: If you no longer have access to the app and are unable to consent to e-delivery or hard copy, you will be receiving a hard copy with the address we have on file. Feel free to contact support to update the mailing address.
Q: Does Nursa withhold taxes from my pay?
A: No. When you view shift cards on Nursa and your Nursa paystubs, you see your hourly and total pay without any tax deductions. As an independent contractor, you’re responsible for filing any taxes relevant to your situation and state.
Q: I need a 1099 from a previous year (before 2023). How do I get it?
A: When you verify your W-9 information and finish, you will be able to access 2023 and previous years 1099 within the Nursa App.
Q: I have another question, who can I ask?
A: For reasons related to your specific tax situation, please contact a tax professional as Nursa cannot provide tax advice. For general questions and troubleshooting, take a look at our Community Articles or get in touch with Nursa Support.
