Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did they take withholding out of it?  IHSS might not be taxable.  Is it for caring for a family member?

There are a couple ways to enter a W2 for IHSS wages.

1. Enter the W2 as normal wages on line 7.  
Then make an entry on 1040 line 21 Other Income to offiset it.

2.  Or when you enter the W2 it gives you the EIC credit for it (which would be wrong) see this FAQ

So you either completely exclude the W2 from your return or enter it under Miscellaneous Income.   To enter it as Misc Income use the same steps as above and you will make 2 entries.
