Question

Caregiver Income

My wife is the caregiver for her Mom. Received W2 from the State of CA. Tax CPA claims it is totally tax-deductible. Is this correct? Could it be that State of CA does not tax it but Federal does?

It depends.

 

If your caregiver and the person receiving the care live together, the income is excluded from CA taxation.
