Question

1099-Misc for Paid Family Leave

This seems to be a continuing issue. Received a 1099-Misc for paid family leave and Turbo Tax is showing it as schedule C income. How can this be fixed? Should I just enter it as Schedule G and hope for the best? It has a significant impact on the return.

No, income from paid family leave isn't a business, but the income that you receive from your participation is taxable. The income is reported ‌as "Other Income" instead of self-employment income. You will have to delete the original 1099-MISC and re-enter it.

Follow the navigation instructions in the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter a 1099-MISC?

Delete the 1099-MISC form that you already entered by selecting the trash can
Enter the 1099-MISC again
When you get to the screen that asks you Does one of these common situations apply? Select None of these apply
Select No that it didn’t involve work like your main job
Select how often you received the money
Select No it didn’t involve the intent to earn money.

Your income will appear on line 8 of Schedule 1 of your 1040 as Other Income.

This worked, however, the PFL is not taxable in NY but it is carrying over to the NY return and making it taxable. How can that be corrected?

You will have to make an adjustment on your New York tax return for that amount.
