Medical & Health Care Payments

I have a client who receives payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs for taking care of her totally disabled husband. She works full time at a hospital as a RN and just takes care of him when she is off, like any wife would do. The Department of Veterans Affairs reports this income in her Social Security number and name on a 1099-Misc, in box 6...Medical and Health Care Payments. How and where should this be reported? Is it subject to self-employment taxes?

I would (in my opinion) treat it as "other income" in screen 14.1 - below the Income subject to SE tax" line. It will print on line 21 of the 1040 with the description next to it....

I too am curious about this. I have a client who received similar payments from State of CA Insurance Fund as part of a Settlement payment due his mother (she is 100% disabled). The 1099-MISC was issued in his name and SSN and payment amount reported in Box 6 as well. Is this type of payment subject to SE tax and can you point in the right direction for reference materials?

There was a case (in Illinois, maybe?) regarding similar payments for care of a child, and whichever court it was decided in ruled against the IRS, finding it was not subject to SE tax.

If I wanted phone calls, my phone number would be in my profile. If you have a question, post it in the applicable forum.
