I am IHSS live-in provider. Hence wages box 1 and box 2 are zero, though boxes 3, 4, 5 and 6 have values. I uploaded the W2 from my computer.
1. Please confirm if these steps are still correct that were suggested last year:
- Enter value from Box 3 to Box 1 which is 0 in the W-2. Should I still do that or should I enter 0?
2. Box 12a in W-2 has value but is empty in the uploaded values by Turbotax. Should I follow previous suggestion below?
- [ ] Leave Box 12a blank in Turbo Tax
- [ ] Go to “ Wages & Income → W-2 → Uncommon Situations”
- [ ] Select: “Nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments / Difficulty of Care payments”
- [ ] Then answer: “ALL of Box 1 is Difficulty of Care income”
- [ ] Since Box 1 = 0, this confirms no taxable wages
3. Box 15 in in W-2 has CA but is empty in the uploaded values by Turbotax. Should I follow previous suggestion below?
- [ ] Leave Box 15 blank as “the state boxes must either all be filled in or all be left blank. Without the ID, all blank is the correct”
4. Box 14 has 2 entries : QUALOT with value in Amount, but no category. Turbo Tax is prompting me to enter category ,
- [ ] Should I choose ““Other (not classified)” ? or something else?
