Paul Chambers🚧<p>Heads up. Don't forget that if you care for a loved one, or someone you live with, and get paid through a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waiver program for personal care and supportive home care, make sure you or your accountant check to see if that is tax free income via IRS Notice 2014-7. </p><p>Many people treat this as self-employment income and pay thousands in taxes that they don't have to pay.</p><p> DOGE hasn't rescinded that rule yet.<br><a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/taxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxes</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/doge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doge</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/medicaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicaid</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/IRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IRS</span></a> <a href="https://oldfriends.live/tags/April15" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>April15</span></a></p><p>🔗 Certain Medicaid waiver payments may be excludable from income</p><p><a href="https://www.irs.gov/individuals/certain-medicaid-waiver-payments-may-be-excludable-from-income" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">irs.gov/individuals/certain-me</span><span class="invisible">dicaid-waiver-payments-may-be-excludable-from-income</span></a></p>
