Report using the instructions below.

Enter your caregiver income using the following steps (do not enter the Form 1099-NEC).

1. Open your TurboTax return > Under Wages and Income scroll to Miscellaneous Income
2. Select Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099 > Start or Revisit
3. Select Yes under Did you receive any other wages > Continue
4. Continue to screen Enter Source of Other Earned Income > Select Employee Compensation that was not reported on a W2
5. This walks you through the Form 8919 - enter the required information as you continue
6. Select Should have been reported on a W-2 for the dropdown

Because the IRS ruled that this income does qualify for earned income tax credit (EITC) purposes means the employee portion of social security and Medicare taxes must be paid. 

Follow these steps to remove the income from your tax return.

1. Scroll down the page to the last section titled: Less common Income and click show more;
2. Select start or update next to the last topic titled Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C;
3. Scroll down to the last option titled Other reportable income and select start or edit;
4. When it asks, "Any other reportable income?" say yes then you will make one entry
5. Enter this description: IRS Notice 2014-7 excludable income and enter the W-2 Box 1 amount as a Negative (-) number

When you return to the Wages & Income page, scroll to see the negative income beside​​​​​​​ Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C; This will remove the income on your return for the IHSS or other payments received by an individual care provider under a state Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waiver program.

Beginning in Tax Year 2022, Schedule 1, Line 8s will automatically report the Medicaid waiver payment as a subtraction. It is no longer necessary to create an offset amount as negative other income. Doing so will erroneously subtract the Medicare waiver payments twice.
