Hello.
I have this Medicaid Waiver Payments from IHSS and I live with the recipient. I like to know if I receive a W2 with box 1 $0, box 3 and 5 $9,000, and box 16 $0, how do you "INCLUDE" this $9,000 amount to California income to get the earned income credit? I answer the federal tax questions asking me to enter the Medicaid Waiver Payments not on W2. That amount is $9,000 because is not on my W2 box 1 and 16. After I done with the Federal and transfer to California, there is no way I can include this $9,000 to get the EIC. What is wrong? My W2 box 1 and 16 are $0. Should I replace this W2 box 1 and 16 $0 to $9,000? If I do this, the W2 is not match with the IRS. Can someone help?
