Yes. It is advisable to file form 1099-G if you received one. The IRS has declined to give states guidance on the taxability of PFMLA. Based on other states with similar programs, Washington thinks it is likely that family leave benefits could be taxable and medical leave benefits would not.
Washington is only issued 1099-G forms to customers who received family leave benefits in 2022. Family leave includes leave to bond with a new child born or placed in your home and leave to care for a family member with a serious health condition. The amount of family leave benefits you received in 2022 is "Box 1."
To enter form 1099-G from Washington, follow these steps:
- Open or continue your tax return.
- Go to (Your income and expenses.)
- Scroll to "Unemployment."
- "Unemployment and paid family leave," Start or Revisit."
- ("Did you receive unemployment or paid family leave…)," "Yes."
- ("Where did you get your benefits…,)," Government (Form 1099-G).
- ("Were you required to repay…)," "No"
- Continue
