Parent Question

Will IHSS income affect my taxes or eligibility for public benefits?


Published: Dec. 13, 2024

If you are an IHSS parent provider for your child and you don't want your IHSS income to affect your taxes or your eligibility for public benefits (like Medi-Cal), then you need to fill in the live-in certification form for IHSS providers. The easiest way to complete this form is to log in to your IHSS e-timesheet portal and fill it out there.

Our step-by-step guide to becoming an IHSS parent provider provides more information on the process.
