Hi,
My spouse received a W2 from Lincoln insurance company for the benefit during her maternity leave. However she didn't get a 1099-G. The W2 has wages/taxes paid as well as a separate amount in box 12a under category J. I believe this is Non-taxable sick pay.
While adding this W2 in Turbo Tax, there is a checkbox "Paid family leave - I earned all or part of this income as paid family leave." Does this need to be checked ? If it is checked , does the entire W2 income be considered non-taxable for California tax reporting or just the amount under box 12a code J become non-taxable ?
Also is it common to get paid family leave without receiving 1099-G, but with only insurance's W2 ?
