The IRS has not issued guidance on whether the PFML is pre-tax or post-tax. Your employer may be withholding it pre-tax this year, in which case it would definitely not qualify for the deduction. See Mass. wage reporting. Since the IRS is debating how the tax should be handled, it is not included this year in the IRS list -as shown above, (Contributions to state benefit funds). However, if you overcontributed to the fund, like with changing jobs, you do get a refund on your MA tax for the overage charged. Any earnings over $142,800 are not subject to tax.
