Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You said you did not receive a W2. Did you have other income besides the IHHS income? Any other income would be used in the calculation of EITC.  

 

If you followed the instructions above for entering, it will not be taxable income but can be used as income in calculating the EITC.

 

Review that you entered everything according to the instructions above and did not enter it under household employee or sick and disability pay.

 

When you get to the Earned Income Credit section under the  Deductions and Credits portion of your return, you will be asked if you want to add your Medicaid waiver payment to your income for this credit. You can try it both ways, including it and excluding it from the calculation for the credit and see which way benefits you most.
