My wife is in a nursing home and they collect her social security directly. Do I have to add it to our joint income on our return or does the home deal with that?

Add it to your joint return.

Thank you Bsch4477.

Your reply is absolutely correct. 

I was so worried about it that I consulted a tax accountant of my own and he confirmed that your response was right all along.
