That's right. Still don't check the box. The NYPFL in box 14 is PFL tax that you paid. The check box on the "uncommon situations" screen is for PFL benefits that you received that are included in your W-2. Paying the tax does not mean that you received any benefits. If you did not take paid family leave you did not receive any PFL benefits so you do not check the box.

1Q: Select "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax not on above list." Depending on exactly where in TurboTax you make this selection, you might see slight variations in the wording, but they are all treated the same.


2Q: No, do not check that box. "Paid family leave" in the question about uncommon situations is not related to the NYPFL in box 14. The question about uncommon situations is asking whether part or all of the income on your W-2 is paid family leave that you received.
