IHSS income: $0 reported in box 1 W-2 but how to get refund on FICA taxes withheld?
Hi, I got a W-2 for my IHSS caregiving work where box 1 and 16 correctly report $0 income. There is some guidance here to not include the W-2 at all in my tax return, but how do I get a refund of the FICA withholding in that case? Specifically, my total household income is well in excess of the $132k ceiling for SS tax, so I should be getting a refund for some of the SS withheld from my IHSS pay. I can't find where to report that correctly, given:
1. Can't enter in the entire W-2 because TT doesn't let you e-file with a $0 box 1 W-2. So have to exclude the entire W-2.
2. "Withholding not reported elsewhere" section doesn't give an option to identify the withholding as FICA - seems to only allow fed/state/local taxes withheld.
Thanks!
