State tax filing

The IRS has not included Massachusetts Paid Family Leave as a deductible tax so TurboTax does not allow the deduction automatically.  

 

As an employee, you can deduct mandatory contributions to state benefit funds withheld from your wages that provide protection against loss of wages. For example, certain states require employees to make contributions to state funds providing disability or unemployment insurance benefits. Mandatory payments made to the following state benefit funds are deductible as state income taxes on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 5a.

  • Alaska Unemployment Compensation Fund.

  • California Nonoccupational Disability Benefit Fund.

  • New Jersey Nonoccupational Disability Benefit Fund.
