Paid Family Leave (PFL) Income in California
Hi,
I have a quick question regarding how to report the "Paid Family Leave (PFL) Income in California" on TurboTax. Here is a brief summary of my situation.
- I've received PFL benefits from both the EDD and my employer's insurance company.
- The EDD benefits were reported on a 1099-G.
- The insurance company benefits were reported on a separate W-2 with the employer listed as the insurance company. Box 13 on the W-2 has the "Third-party sick pay" box checked.
- I have also another W-2 with the employer listed as the company I work for. This W-2 form has California SDI information in Box 14.
Here is what I've done on Turbotax so far:
- Entered the 1099-G form
- Entered the W-2 form (from the insurance company), and selected "Paid family leave" on the "Let's check for uncommon situations" screen
- Entered the wages from Box 1 on the W-2 (from the insurance company) into the "Paid Family Leave (PFL) Income in California" section of the state return.
I have two questions:
- Since the W-2 describes the benefits as sick pay, are they still tax free on my California State Return?
- Am I correctly reporting by inputting the Box 1 wages from the W-2 form into the "Paid Family Leave (PFL) Income in California" section?
Thanks in advance.
