Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In your Federal return, enter the W-2 and be sure you are using the steps outlined by @CatinaT1 above.

 

You may have missed Step 6, entering the amount of your IHSS payments, as reported in Boxes 3 and 5 on your W-2. 

 

These steps also apply to the download/desktop version. 

 

If the IHSS W-2 is the ONLY income you have on your return this year, then you may need to enter $1 instead of $0 in Box 1 in order to e-file so that there is an Adjusted Gross Income amount on your return.
