Could your providers be eligible for a Federal Income Tax exemption on wages earned while employed by you in CDC+?

  • On January 3, 2014, the IRS issued Notice 2014-7 addressing the income tax treatment of certain payments to an individual care provider under a state Home and Community-Based Services Waiver (Medicaid waiver) program.
  • CDC+ staff are not tax professionals and do not provide tax guidance to providers about their specific tax filings or exemptions.
  • The CDC+ program cannot determine whether a provider is or is not eligible for this exemption based upon a single set or even combination of criteria such as service code, relationship to consumer, or live-in status. Providers need to seek the guidance of their tax professional to determine whether they are eligible for this exemption.
  • Exemption Form
  • When it has been determined that the provider is eligible for this exemption, the Exemption Form will need to be completed correctly and returned to Consumer-Directed Care Plus, 4030 Esplanade Way, Suite 215, Tallahassee, FL 32399-0950.
  • There is no requirement to renew the exemption, however it is the employees responsibility to notify us if there are any changes and they no longer qualify for the exemption.
