Deductions & credits

It depends. I would advise filing without the IHSS W-2 and then amend your return once you have the information to report. To contact them, go to their website and look under IHSS Service Desk for Providers & Recipients, The number is (866) 376-7066.

 

If they do not send a W-2, you can file a substitute W2 in Turbo Tax by:

  1. Open your return and search for W-2. Select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the W-2 entry screen.
  2. Fill out your W-2 as best you can using the information from your last pay stub.
  3. Answer any questions until you get to the Let's check for uncommon situations screen.
  4. Check the box next to Didn't get a W-2 and select Continue.
  5. On the Let's check if you need a substitute W-2 screen, select Yes then Continue.
  6. Answer the follow-up questions. Select Print to download and print your IRS Form 4852.

Returns including Form 4852 can't be e-filed per IRS regulations, so please make any reasonable effort to receive a copy of the W2 from IHSS.
