I receive income through the state of Oregon for taking care of my mother. These are not called medicare waiver payments but are considered employment income. She lives in my home so I qualify for this exception but my issue is, I receive a w2 at the beginning of every year and my income is reported on lines 1, 3, and 5. Federal taxes are on line 2 and state taxes are on line 17. Where is the actual income amount located on my w2 that needs to be excluded per this difficulty of care federal exclusion? I have read so many posts and they all reported different things. I am beyond confused. I have talked with the IRS and they had no information about this exclusion. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
