Hi,
My employer does offer a Paid Parental Leave benefit through them (i dont think I used it during 2024 though) and I was on Maternity Leave towards the end of this year.
I'm unsure if I should select the paid family leave checkbox after I input my W-2 from my employer. There is nothing listed in box 14 (no amount listed) and I didn't receive any other tax form (I've seen mention of the 1099 on other posts about this) from my employer. I reached out to my HR POC and they didn't give me any information just told me to speak with a tax advisor as they are unsure.
I did receive another W-2 from my insurer for my STD Maternity Leave and I entered that in as a separate W-2. Box 13 has 3rd party sick pay checked, no amounts provided for the box 12 codes, and box 14 has a percentage listed in it. I did not receive a 1099 form from the insurer either.
I guess my questions are:
- Should I select the Paid Parental Leave option after my employers W-2 or after the Insurer's W-2? for both? or not at all?
- how do i enter in the percentage listed in box 14 -- or does this not need to be entered in?
