IRS Rule 2014-7

[Gr8csufan]

The residential care company that I am providing Medicaid waiver services through did not issue me a 1099.  They claim that they don't have to since it is non-taxable income.  I believe that I can add up the payments made to me and put them on line 1 of the 1040.  However, they charge me a 20% billing fee for these payments.  Is this something that can be written off?  If so, where in the TT Deluxe program?  Thanks in advance!

Do you live with the person you are taking care of?

[Gr8csufan]

yes, I live with the person that I am a care giver for.

I think that it’s unconscionable that they change you 20% for giving you a form. Fortunately you don’t need one. See the discussion here for how to report the payment without a W-2

They don't bill me for the form.  They bill me 20% for using them to process the payments. I need to find out if that is a tax write off.  It amounts to about $12,000 per year. Thanks!

Since the income is not self employment income I don’t see how you can deduct those fees.
