Qualified Medicaid waiver payments on a W-2 show as earned income for EIC
No, you CANNOT claim tax exempt income. How can you claim income that’s exempt? If you signed the form that states you’re client lives with you, then you are infact exempt! Now, if you wanted to not be exempt, perhaps you can call IHSS and cancel the paperwork you signed. Ihss will not send you a W-2 if your a parent provider which means you cannot claim
that income for the EIC purposes.
@bellagirl33 Apparently it is changed that now you can get EIC for it. Read this whole thread. You enter it on line 1 wages then back it out on a later line. Then it should give you EIC.
So where do you input the income? In the Job W2 section or the miscellaneous other income section? I am an IHSS care giver who lives with the person I take care of. There was another question from 2019 where is said to enter the income in the miscellaneous other types of income is that still current information ?
To enter wage income for which you did not receive a W2 or 1099 to include for EIC on line 1. Follow these steps to enter.
1. Click Federal in left hand menu
2. Click Income & Expenses at the top of the page
3. Scroll down to "Less Common Income"
4. Click Show More
5. Miscellaneous Income (Start/Revisit)
6. Income not reported on W2 or1099 (Start/Revisit)
Then to back out the non-taxable part:
1. Miscellaneous Income (Revisit)
2. Other Reportable income (Start/Revisit)
3. As Ameliesuncle shows above "...enter it in parentheses and enter “Notice 2014-7” and the nontaxable amount on the dotted line next to line 8."
If I didnt file 2018 taxes because of this can I file it now?
Ivee already filed 2019
Yes. But you can not do it with with TurboTax (TT) online software. TT, online, can only do current year returns.
You can still prepare 2017-2018 returns with TT download software. You cannot e-file, but must print and mail. https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
You can also get forms (for mailing) from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/prior-year
