Are you entering a W-2? And is the amount of PFL reported in box 12 or 14? There are no adjustments that need to be entered on the federal portion of your tax return (so no breakdown needed), but you may need to enter an adjustment on your state return if your state excludes this income from taxable income.
Paid Family Leave (PFL) income is money you receive from your employer, an insurer, or the government while you are away from work for an extended period of time so you can recover from a serious health issue, take care of a seriously ill family member, or bond with your newborn or newly adopted child.
In the United States, employers who offer PFL are the exception rather than the rule. PFL is usually only available through larger employers, if it is offered at all. A small but growing number of states have enacted PFL legislation. They include California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Oregon, and Washington. The National Partnership for Women Families keeps a list of state PFL laws.
Paid Family Leave is different than paid time off like sick pay. For example, a new mother working at a company that does not offer PFL, might still take maternity leave based on accrued sick days. This pay falls under paid time off, and it is taxed differently than pay from PFL.
