W2 difficulty care payents

[Tracie415]

I have a client who is taking care of his disabled son and receives difficulty care payments from medicare.  The w-2 boxes are all zero.. except box 14 has 2014-7 income and the amount received.  

Do I just the put care payments in box 1 and deduct on Schedule 1 line 8? IF not how do I show it's 'earned' income for EIC purposes?

Doesnt the EIC worksheet have a place for non taxable earned income?  (Ive never had to go looking)

[Tracie415]

Yes thank you.  Line 6

thats where you would enter this income to be used for EIC purposes only.
