Yes. According to Turbo Tax, contributor RichardG, The income you receive as a caregiver for a family member is taxable income, but it is not subject to self-employment tax. Please go to Federal Taxes>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Miscellaneous Income>Other Reportable Income to report this income.
