Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Some people use this income to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. If you have no other income, and do not want to claim either credit, then you do not need to file a return.  

If you have other income, and you report it using less common income, the income is then backed out of your return so it results in $0 net change but it still reports the W-2.

Follow these steps which will allow you to use the IHSS payments to report the W-2 income, but also if eligible claim the EITC and ACTC, and have it backed out of your return as soon as you report it.

1. Select income
2. Miscellaneous Income which is under Less Common Income
3. Other Income Not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099
4. Select Yes to did you receive any other wages
5. Continue to the box that asks for your Medicaid Waiver payments
6. You will be asked about using this income for the Earned Income Credit
7. After you do this, you will need to visit the credits and deduction section to answer the Earned Income Credit questions.
8. Continue through to file your return

This will allow you to e-file as well.
