Payments I received was not for Paid Family Leave, but for California Voluntary Disability Plan (VDP), which offset some of my long term disability (LTD). So during my LTD, I received VDP payment and LTD payment separately. MetLife didn't issue a W-2 for LTD because that is not taxable (as I fully paid the premium for the LTD plan with after tax dollars). But MetLife issued a W-2 for the VDP payments even though VDP is fully funded by employee contributions. VDP deduction is listed in my paystub under Employee Taxes, along with federal withholding, Medicare adn State tax, which I understand indicates that it was paid for by after-tax dollars. I'm trying to see if MetLife will correct the W-2 but it's hard to get a hold of someone there who understands these tax issues. I'm not sure if I should just file the tax return counting it as income and then file an amended return if they issue a corrected W-2, or if it's better to request an extension to file and wait to file.
