Hi there , continuing from my post https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/how-to-enter-ihss-live-in-provider-w2-with-zero-i... .
1) Box 1 and 2 in my W2 are zero, Boxes 3, 5 and 12a show same amount . Boxes 4 and 6 have other values. I followed the suggested steps in that post of importing IHSS, not changing anything, choosing "Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments that qualify as difficulty of care payments" under Let’s check for uncommon situations" and entering that value in "Amount of payments difficulty of care payments" under "Let's check your Medicaid waiver payments".
Please advise if I am missing anything here and the reason for this error about Box 5. Thank you
2) In the instructions https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/form-w-2/qualified-medicaid-waiver-payme...:
My tax payments are increasing if I follow step 4 below. As I am live-in provider with zero in Box 1, I did not enter the amount from box 3 to box 1. Hope it is ok to leave box 1 as zero and not follow the step 4 below.
Step 4: If you have a number instead of zero in Box 3, enter that number again in Box 1.
