If you have amounts on your IHSS W-2 in Boxes 3-6, enter your W-2 in the W-2 section under Wages & Income.
Put the amount from Box 3 into Box 1.
- On the Let’s check for uncommon situations screen, select the box next to Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments that qualify as difficulty of care payments.
- Enter the amount of Medicaid waiver payments into the difficulty of care payment you received from IHSS W-2, box 3.
- This is the same amount reported in boxes 3 and 5 of your W-2.
- Your payments are nontaxable, but TurboTax uses this number to calculate credits you may qualify for.
Delete the entry you made in the Other Income section.
