State tax filing

Yes, you can choose to exclude all or none of the IHSS income for EITC purposes on the California return, but not part.

 

Please see this California Department of Social Services webpage:

 

"If you received income from the In-Home Support Services (IHSS) program for providing care to someone you live with, you have the option to include or exclude all or none of that income as earned income on your tax return. This may allow you to qualify for CalEITC and other tax credits".  

 

Also: "you may choose to include all, but not part, of these payments in earned income for determining the EIC or the ACTC".
