Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The numbers in box 3, -6 do not affect your federal return.  This is your FICA taxes. 

The only numbers that matter in your case is box 1 and 12.  

You actually can delete these W-2's if you are not using them to claim the EITC and do not live in a state that does tax IHSS payments. 

You can also enter the income by following the steps below


Follow these steps to enter your IHSS payments AFTER deleting your W-2 by clicking the trashcan in the summary page next to the W-2:

  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, if you select yes, 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 should allow you to e-file
