On March 1, 2016, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) received a ruling from the IRS that In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) wages received by IHSS providers who live in the same home with the recipient of those services are also excluded from gross income for purposes of FIT. CDSS received confirmation from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) that wages received by IHSS and/or WPCS providers who live with the recipient are not considered part of gross income for purposes of California State Personal Income Tax (PIT) .  \nHow do I exclude my wages from FIT and PIT?  \nYou have the option to self-certify your living arrangements to exclude IHSS/WPCS wages from FIT and PIT by completing and submitting a Live-In Self-Certification Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) . All requested information on the form must be provided and the form must include your signature and the date you signed the form.  \nReturn Completed SOC 2298 Forms to:  \nIHSS – IRS Live-In Self-Certification  \nP.O. Box 1677  \nWest Sacramento, CA 95691-6677  \nWhat do I do for wages paid before my Self-Certification Form is received?  \nYour form W-2 for wages paid in the year prior to the receipt and processing of your Self-Certification form will not be amended. Providers are encouraged to consult with a tax advisor or contact the IRS or FTB directly with questions.  \nDo I need to file a Live-In Self-Certification Form every year?  \nThe exclusion of your IHSS wages from FIT and PIT will continue each year you continue to work for, and live with, your recipient and you will not need to re-certify every year.  \nWhat happens if I stop living with the recipient?  \nIf your living arrangements change and your recipient no longer lives with you but you continue to provide care to the recipient, you should file a Live-In Self-Certification Cancellation Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2299) at the address above. In addition, you should file Provider or Recipient Change of Address and/or Telephone (SOC 840) (change of address) with the IHSS County Office.  \nWhat do I do if I live with more than one recipient?  \nIf you work and reside with more than one recipient, you must complete and submit a separate Live-In Self-Certification Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) for each recipient.  \nWhen can I expect my Live-in Self-Certification Form to be processed?  \nYour current Tax Year wages will continue to be included as federal and state taxable wages until a correct and fully completed Live-In Self-Certification Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) is processed. It may take up to 30 days from the time you send your completed Live-In Self-Certification Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) to be processed before your IHSS wages begin to be excluded from FIT and PIT.  \nPlease Note: CDSS and County staff are not tax consultants and cannot assist you with the IRS or FTB exclusions or how to file amended tax returns. Please contact the IRS, FTB, or your Tax Preparer for questions or how to file an amended return for past years. For more information, please visit the IRS website ([www.irs.gov](www.irs.gov)) or the FTB website ([www.ftb.ca.gov](www.ftb.ca.gov)).","cbCaiaS48UnM87Bk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaS48UnM87Bk","pdf",183138,"English","# How live-in provider wages are excluded\n## Self-certify using SOC 2298\n## Return and mailing instructions\n## Before self-certification is received\n## Recertification and ongoing exclusion\n## Changes to living arrangements\n## Living with more than one recipient\n## Processing timeline and notes","[{\"question\":\"How can a live-in provider exclude IHSS/WPCS wages from FIT and PIT?\",\"answer\":\"By completing and submitting the Live-In Self-Certification Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) with all requested information, including your signature and the date you signed.\"},{\"question\":\"Do I need to file the SOC 2298 form every year?\",\"answer\":\"No. The exclusion continues each year you keep working for and living with the recipient, so you do not need to re-certify annually.\"},{\"question\":\"What should I do if I stop living with the recipient but continue providing care?\",\"answer\":\"File a Live-In Self-Certification Cancellation Form for Federal and State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2299) at the address above, and also file Provider or Recipient Change of Address and/or Telephone (SOC 840) with the IHSS County Office.\"}]","Live-In Provider Self-Certification Information - IRS Notice 2014-7 | PDF",1792699038]
