Yes, the parental leave that you received would be taxable income. The IRS guidance states:
- An employee who receives state paid family leave payments must include those amounts in the employee’s gross income.
- An employee who receives state paid medical leave payments must include the amount attributable to the employer portion of contributions in the employee’s gross income.
- This latter amount also is subject both to the employer’s and employee’s shares of Social Security and Medicare taxes.
- The amount attributable to the employee’s portion of the contributions is excluded from the employee’s gross income, and this amount is not subject to Social Security or Medicare taxes.
