Perhaps the better option is to report the Medicaid waiver payments as you did previously. While the section you reference in your post, Miscellaneous Income, does have a screen directly related to Medicaid waiver payments, it also indicates that the Medicaid waiver payments have not been reported on a W-2. Your Medicaid waiver payments were reported on a W-2, and that was why you entered the information under Wages and Salaries. Because the Miscellaneous Income section is dealing with a situation where the Medicaid waiver payments were not reported on a W-2, you probably won't be able to enter the employer information in that section.
The other issue if you report the Medicaid waiver payments in the Miscellaneous Income section is that the payments will be entered on line 1d of Form 1040 which is where you report these types of payments that have not been reported on a W-2. Thus, if you report your Medicaid waiver payments through the Miscellaneous Income section of TurboTax, the payments will be entered on the wrong line on Form 1040. For that reason, perhaps the preferred method is to report the Medicaid waiver payments as you did previously.
