"Why don't we get credit for NY State taxes paid if PFL is really a tax?"
You do. The NYPFL, when properly categorized in Box 14, is carried to line 5a (state and local income taxes) on Schedule A. If the tax is not limited to $10,000 (limit for SALT - state and local taxes) AN if you have enough other deductions to use Itemized Deductions, the Box 14 amount will appear in the total for lines 5a, 5d, 5e, and 7 on Schedule A.
