Need to know where to claim money received from state.  Received $1910 and I'm sure it needs to be claimed however not sure where

    It depends, but this income usually is not reported on your taxes.  Here is an IRS link that discusses Foster Care payments (which is what KY Kinship Care is): https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525/ar02.html#en_US_2016_publink1000229539

    You will almost certainly not need to include this information in TurboTax.
