I have narrowed down my issue to the following:
- You will enter the amount of Medicaid Waiver Payments into the box asking for the total amount of difficulty of care payment you received from IHHS. This will be the same amount reported in Boxes 3 and 5 of your W-2.
Everything comes down to the amount in that box. If I put $0 dollars in that box then everything is perfect. If I put the amount in as directed above my CA refund goes from $1000 to $2300.
I don't qualify for any EITCs. My income is too high. I even used several online EITC calculators to verify. I'm single and no kids. Using the Medicaid Waiver Payments to calculate EITC I still get a big fat $0.
My federal return uses the standard deduction. My CA state return is itemized. If I do my CA by hand I get the $1000 refund.
So can anyone tell me what turbo tax is doing with the amount in that box on my CA return? Short of paying for Turbo Tax so I can view my CA return, where in Turbo Tax can I see the amount applied?
Thanks
