I’m a personal caregiver for my son. I live with him. My income is supposed to be tax free?

You are correct.  The income is not taxed on the Federal income tax return.

 

The complication is that your tax-exempt Medicaid waiver payments from in-home supportive services (IHSS) may be on a W-2, 1099, or no form at all, depending upon where you live.

 

How the income is reported in TurboTax depends upon how (or whether) the income was reported to you.  See this TurboTax Help.
