Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you an IHSS provider?  Your earnings while exempt from income tax may be subject to Social Security and Medicare withholdings and are reported on your W-2.  You should contact IHSS for more information and to see if you qualify for a refund of those withholdings.  If you do, though, the request for the refund is claimed through IHSS; it is not claimed on a Federal or state tax return.
