The G in 1099-G stands for government. If the paid family leave was through an insurance company, you would receive a 1099-MISC instead of a 1099-G.
Find out from your employer if the amount on the 1099-MISC is taxable and if it has already been added to your 2020 W-2.
You will report it as:
- Federal
- Wages and Income
- Other Common Income
- Form 1099-MISC
- Fill in the screens and put the reason for the 1099-MISC as Sick Leave
If the amount on the 1099-MISC has already been taxed, then you will add another entry to cancel out the taxes on the 1099-MISC.
- Federal
- Wages and Income
- Other Common Income
- Form 1099-MISC
- Fill in the screens but put a minue sign in front of the amount in Box 3, and put the reason for the 1099-MISC as Sick Leave - already been taxed
This will correctly report the 1099-MISC and make sure it is taxed properly.
