If I went on maternity leave through my job and got paid for 6 weeks through my job would I get a 1099-G?

No, a Form 1099-G - IRS.gov is for Certain Government Payments like Unemployment compensation, State or local income tax refunds, credits, or offsets.

If you are on short-term disability or maternity leave, you may get a W-2. Contact your Human Resources (HR) department to find out if you are going to get a tax form and if so, what kind.

@TurboTaxHelenaC , I live in California, In 2018 I took a paternity leave in which was 100% paid by my employer. In TurboTax as I was entering my W2 information one of the checkbox questions were: "Paid family leave - I earned all or part of this income as paid family leave" upon checking this box my CA refund increased dramatically. Can you give more details around this? I was on official LOA with a start/end date filed with MetLife for the FMLA job protection during my paid leave.

Hi @alfred-a, Sorry to bring back this old question but I am in the same boat as you and unsure how to report the duration i was on paternal leave in 2021. Do you remember how you got this resolved?
