Was the entire W-2 for Medicaid waiver payments?
I submitted the live-in certification because this client is my mother, who lives with me. Box 1 has a smaller amount than Boxes 3 and 5, Box 2 has $0. I think it may be because I didn't submit the live-in certification from the start, so part of my total wages will be taxed?
As for :
If so, select all of it. If you select some of it, you will be asked to enter the portion that qualifies as medicare waiver payments. Basically, if you provided the care to the patient in your home, it counts as medicare waiver payments. I don't understand what to select as a result.
I read this on IHSS website:
"What Do I Do For Wages Paid Before My Self-Certification Form Is Received?
Your W-2 Form for past year wages paid prior to 2017, or for 2017 wages paid prior to the receipt and processing of your Self-Certification form will not be amended. Providers are encouraged to consult with a tax advisor or contact the IRS directly with questions."
Section 1915(c) enables individuals who otherwise would require care in a hospital, nursing facility, or intermediate care facility to receive care in the individual care provider's home. The notice provides that the Service will treat these Medicaid waiver payments as difficulty of care payments excludable from gross income under § 131 of the Internal Revenue Code. @de123
