IHSS Income

[JPquestion]

On my W2 box 1 is $0.00.  (ihss payments)

Do I add and fill out a W2 under Wages & Income in TurboTax if the amount in box 1 $0?

Do I still attach a copy of my W2 to my federal return?

If box 1 is zero, you don't have to include that W2 on your tax return.
 

You do not have to file the Form W-2 with your tax return, keep it for your records.

Thank You!!!   And no need to attach it either?

No, you do not have to attach the form.  @JPquestion

If not filing the w2 when box 1 is 0, will social security know the social security tax and medicare withheld?

Thanks!

Yes, the Social Security Tax and Medicare Tax has been submitted by the payor of your IHSS income, in the amounts as reported on  your W-2.

You can check your account with Social Security to see that your earnings have been reported.
