Hello Friends, Please guide me.

 

My wife is a Family Caregiver, provide services to her mother. According to IRS website: Special rules apply to workers who perform in-home services for elderly or disabled individuals (caregivers). My wife works for company In-Home Supportive Services - San Diego. She get W-2 Form from this company.

 

My question is: According to IRS Notice 2014-7, My wife care payments excludable from gross income under § 131 of the Internal Revenue Code. My wife's income mentioned on W-2 Form from company but when my wife submit her Taxes, On Form 1040 total income is not mentioned. On Schedule 1, Notice 2014-7 mentioned that my wife don't need to pay tax on that income.

 

Can my wife Sponsor her husband on her excludable income from IRS tax ???

If my In-Home Supportive Services, income is excludable from taxes.Does this mean I can't sponsor my husband for immigration to U.S. I get every year my W-2 Form from I.H.S.S. Can I sponsor my husband on excludable income ?

Can free housing be counted as income?

Yes, financial sponsors receiving housing and other benefits in place of salary may count those benefits as income. The sponsor may count both taxable and non-taxable income (such as housing allowance). The sponsor must prove the nature and amount of non-taxable income. Evidence of such income can be a Form W-2 (such as Box 13 for military allowances) or Form 1099.

Non-taxable income is still income.  For an "employee", current income comes from a pay stub, not a tax form.
