turboTax wouldn't let me file based on 2014–7 rule. Their automated service does not recognize it enough to let me file. Ask for Life help she fell asleep several times during the life Help when I shared my screen, I recorded her falling asleep this is not a person I trust with my taxes if you're falling asleep on the job, literally I'm so disappointed in TurboTax have used it for more than 20 years. This is disgusting and there's no way to get a hold of these people to let them know that there are employees are falling asleep yet. I'm supposed to get my best refund back.

You can enter a W-2 or other information return for IHSS wages in TurboTax following the IRS 2014-7 rule.
The help article for this issue was recently updated again. We are finding this year that different counties / payers are identifying the IHSS / difficulty of care income differently.
Many Forms W-2 issued for IHSS - IRS Notice 2014-7 income now show zero in Box 1, to indicate that it isn't subject to Federal income tax, but show the entire amount of wages paid in Box 3, Social Security wages. If you have an amount in Box 3, and you might qualify for Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, follow the instructions in this help article, which were recently updated:
If you follow these steps, you are entering income and then backing out the income, so that it isn't backed out twice, and so that you are not entering a zero in Box 1 which may prevent e-filing.
If you don't have any dollar amounts on your W-2, you qualify to exclude the income under IRS Notice 2014-7, and you don't expect to qualify for Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, then you don't need to enter the W-2 at all.
