How to enter a W2 for IHSS services ?

I received a 2020 W2 for IHSS services I provided for a family member. The form lists zero income in box 1 & zero Federal tax in box 2. But it lists Social Security wages & Taxes in boxes 3-4, and Medicare Wages wages & taxes in boxes 5-7.

Besides entering the info under the W2 income section of the 1040, where else do I need to enter any other information on the 1040?

thanks

How to enter a W2 for IHSS services ?

The wage amount from Box 3 and 5 of Form W-2 should be entered in Box 1, and then backed out of the return rather than trying to file with a 0 for Form W-2. Box 1.

 

To do this in TurboTax, click to see this answer by TurboTax Expert Alumni @BarbaraW22: Reporting IHSS income when Form W-2 was issued with $0 in Box 1.
