How to Get a PDF File of My Income Taxes

Are you a live-in provider who received income from the In-Home Support Services (IHSS) program for providing care to someone you live with? If so, you may be wondering how to include or exclude that income as earned income on your tax return. The good news is that you have the option to do so.

According to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in January 2017, IHSS and WPCS providers were allowed to self-certify whether they live in the same home with the recipient for whom they provide services. This may allow you to qualify for CalEITC and other tax credits. For more information about the 2021 ruling by the California Office of Tax Appeals (OTA), please visit the Franchise Tax Board's IHSS website to see how this may impact you.

As a live-in provider, you have the option to include or exclude all or none of that income as earned income on your tax return. This can be done through the Live-In Provider Self-Certification Information form provided by the CDSS.

To obtain a PDF file of your income taxes, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Log in to your online account with the Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

2. Select the 'Tax Return' tab and click on 'View/Print My Return.'

3. Choose the tax year for which you want to view or print your return.

4. Click on the 'PDF' button next to the tax year you selected.

5. Choose the format in which you want to save the PDF file (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word).

6. Save the file to a location on your computer.

Once you have saved the PDF file, you can easily print it out or share it with others as needed.
