I am working for IHSS and I received Medicaid Waiver Payments. My W2 box 1 is blank but not box 3,4,5 and 6. According to 1040 line 1d instruction, "If you received nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments, and box 1 of your Form(s) W-2 is blank or has zeros, and you are choosing not to include nontaxable payments in earned income for purposes of claiming a credit, do not attach any of these Form(s) W-2 to your return."
I don't want to include my Medicaid Waiver Payments in earned income for the purposes of claiming a credit. The 1040 instruction says I don't need to attach my W2 if box 1 is blank. However, there is a dollar amount in box 3,4,5 and 6. Does IRS need those boxes amount from my W2? Do I still need to attach my W2?
