Have you heard about the special needs tax break nobody’s talking about? Guest blogger Rachel Olstad tells Different Dream readers about a special needs tax break her family recently discovered. You’re going to love what she has to say. I guarantee it!<\/em><\/p>\n

My husband and I are fortunate enough to get paid to take care of our adult disabled son. This arrangement began several years ago through our state\u2019s Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waiver program. We were delighted with the program as it enables us to keep our son in our home \u2013 and we\u2019re getting paid for something we\u2019ve been doing for the last 26 years. It\u2019s a win-win!<\/p>\n

We were even more delighted a couple months ago to discover that our income through the waiver program is income-tax free. Wait! What? Here’s the scoop on the special needs tax break nobody’s talking about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non-related caregivers (think foster care families) have taken advantage of\u00a0 the Difficulty of Care Income Exclusion (DOC)<\/a><\/strong> for adults who live in their home. Parents heard about exclusion and asked, \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t this include us?\u201d So, in 2014 the IRS issued Notice 2014-7. While it doesn\u2019t specifically state that parents are eligible<\/em>, the notice now includes parents because the adult they care for lives in their home.<\/p>\n

We stumbled upon this information when our state changed companies that processed our paychecks. The new company had information on this exclusion on their web page<\/strong> as well as on the paperwork we completed so they could issue our paychecks. When I called and asked the old company why they didn’t tell us about the exclusion, they said they could not give any financial advice to individuals. Fair enough.<\/p>\n

But why didn\u2019t my son\u2019s caseworker tell us about it? I don\u2019t know. But I do know that we took this new-found special needs tax break information to our CPA, our taxes for 2014 and 2015 were refiled. We received a sizable chunk of money from the IRS and from our state.<\/strong> Woohoo for us! All states may not consider this income as an exemption, so check your state laws and consult a CPA.<\/p>\n

As long as the waiver and this exemption remain intact, this special needs tax break will help us plan for our son\u2019s future as we age.<\/strong> The financial advantages will make it easier to find a caregiver to live with our son and become his family when we are no longer capable of taking care of him.<\/p>\n

Of course, our trust for provision and for the future ultimately remains in the Lord,<\/strong> not in government programs. But for now, these special needs tax breaks and waivers ease our minds and our burdens. Maybe they can do the same thing for you. Happy Tax Day!<\/p>\n
