SOC 2298

I received this email today. Has anyone else? I wonder what new regulation created this new process. It would be interesting to see how live-in providers can leverage this.

“You are receiving this notice because you are a IHSS and/or WPCS provider, who has an In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program And Waiver Personal Care Services (WPCS) Program Live-In Self-Certification Form For Federal And State Tax Wage Exclusion (SOC 2298) on file. Due to a change in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, providers who have submitted an SOC 2298, will begin receiving W-2 forms each year starting with the 2024 Tax Year. In accordance with revised IRS regulations, federal, state, and local non-taxable income will appear on your W-2 form in Box 12-II.”
