BOSTON — Thousands of live-in personal care attendants serving MassHealth members will no longer owe state or federal income taxes on their wages under a new IRS ruling sought by the Healey administration.

The tax change affects an estimated 18,000 of the roughly 60,000 personal care attendants, or PCAs, employed through the state’s MassHealth program, according to the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. The exemption applies only to PCAs who live in the same household as the individual receiving care.
