The original Turbo Tax answer (about a year ago) to this question was incorrect, which is why I responded as I did, with the correct info and the NYS link stating that NYPFL is a state disability insurance tax. As such, it is a tax to be deducted on Sch A itemized deductions. HOWEVER, turbo tax edited the original answer, a month ago, to what it is now, which has made my original comment confusing. So, I will reiterate that this NYPFL is a deductible state disability tax. When inputting W-2 info the description drop down list for box 14 doesn't have a listing for this NYPFL. So, choose the code "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax not on above list" This code will carry the amount to deductible taxes on Sch A. If you chose "Other - not on above list" it will not flow through to Sch A as a deductible tax.
I hope this clears things up and is helpful. Thanks.
