Client got a late 2021 W2 for taking care of live in relative as part of a Medicaid Waiver Program. 

She made over 20k - box 3&5, but only $683 in shows in box 1 (they corrected it the first month), so I add the W2 with $683, then back it out on Other Income, but that $683 is still adding to earned income and reducing her EITC by $99.   

Cant we choose NOT to use that earned income for EITC purposes? 

Im digging through the EITC worksheet, but Im not finding a place for this.  @TaxGuyBill youre really good at this stuff, where should I be looking...do I have to force it through somewhere?

Or do we wait for the IRS letter and then explain that its excludable income?
