Right, if the parents are living in the home with the taxpayer and the taxpayer is being paid to care for the parents as part of a Medicaid waiver program, those wages are excludable, and not taxable (thats why you have zero wages in box 1).
But they can still be used for EITC purposes, if they qualify for EITC, the EIC worksheet has a place to include them.
