If you need assistance or have questions about your eligibility or how to file your year-end tax return, please contact a tax professional or the IRS. The Description section of your end of year Earnings Statement - the last payday issued in the calendar year (in 2019, this will be the Decempayday) – lists the amount paid for specific services, including personal care services and relief care. It is your responsibility to determine if this income exclusion applies to you. You are also responsible for identifying which payments are for personal care services or relief care and then excluding only those amounts from your gross wages on your tax returns. If you need assistance on how to do that, please contact a tax professional or the IRS. As an individual tax payer, you can claim this income exclusion on your personal tax return when you file.

All previous years, including your 2019 W2, will be reported at the full amount of wages paid for the year. In April 2020, the IPOne payment system will be able to exclude qualifying payments from your Federal Income Tax (FIT) calculation, and from wages reported on your 2020 W2. The exclusion does not apply to payments you receive directly from your clients, which are known as “client participation” amounts. The exclusion does not apply to payments made for respite care, skills acquisition training, travel time, required trainings, or paid time off.

The Difficulty of Care income exclusion applies only to personal care services and relief care, which are listed separately on year end W2 earning statements. This means that the wages earned by an IP for providing personal care to a DSHS client who they live with are excluded from the IP’s income for income tax purposes. Individual Providers are eligible for the Difficulty of Care income exclusion if the Provider lives with the DSHS client in the same household. On March 18, 2016, the IRS ruled that the income exclusion can be extended to Washington State providers, who provide personal care services to clients under Community First Choice (CFC), Medicaid Personal Care (MPC), HCBS waiver programs and similar state-funded programs. The request asked the IRS if the same tax exclusion applies to payments made for personal care services that are funded through other similar programs. As it is written, the IRS Notice only applies to the exclusion to payments for personal care services provided under a Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waiver programs, such as COPES, that operate under section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act.īecause the IRS Notice did not mention personal care services provided by other programs, such as Medicaid Personal Care and the Community First Choice (CFC), DSHS requested a Private Letter Ruling from the IRS. The exclusion covers income earned through the provision of personal care services, when the Medicaid client and provider live in the same household.
