thanks for the help, but I do have some questions about what you'd suggested, I presume using the method you suggested I should only enter my "normal" w-2 (let's say it's from A Inc.) and would not enter the $0 incoming w-2 from ihss, and then select non-taxable medicaid wavier payments, however if I did that TurboTax would then ask me how much of the $ in box 1 from A Inc is difficult of care payment and the amount, which does not seem correct since it's not from A Inc.
>> Enter the total amount of difficulty of care payments you received from A Inc .
If I select "none of it" and put $0 as amount of difficult care I received from A Inc, then it will not ask for any additional info and no change in refund.
If I add a second w-2 with $0 and select medicaid waiver payments, I can enter the proper amount and got some more refund (due to overpaid social security taxes etc) but then I got the same issue of not being able to efile because box1 of a w-2 is $0.
