If I get to file the SOC 2298, could I then claim for both exclusion of the income and eic?

 


 

 

It does not matter if you file that form or not.  That is not a form for IRS purposes.  That is merely a form to tell your employer how to withhold taxes and/or create your W-2.

 

As long as you qualify for it (living with the person and being paid under a Medicaid Waiver program), you can exclude the payments from your income.

 

Yes, for purposes of the Earned Income Credit, you have the option to include or exclude that income (and either option will not change the fact it is not subject to income tax.
