Thanks for providing this information. This is my situation -
I received one W2 from Lincoln Financial for my paternity leave while my wife received two W2 from Sedgwick for her maternity leave. How do we know by looking at the W2 that I need to check the "Paid Family Leave" checkbox for the W2 ?
I see that the Lincoln Financial W2 has a different value in Box 1 and Box 16 (state wages). Looks like the W2 is already reporting less wages for the state by making any adjustment for state tax purposes. There is no information in box 14
Two W2 from Sedgwik. One has only Box 1 and no Box 16 (state) is 0 with CAPL entry in box 14. The other W2 has the same numbers in Box1 and Box 16 with no data in box 14
My confusion -
1. Should I check the "paid family leave" checkbox for these 3 W2s since I and my wife were on paternity/maternity?
2. If we do check the box then what amount to enter in the Paid Family Leave for California Box
3. Or should I import these 3 W2s as regular W2 and file my taxes assuming our insurance companies did all the PFL adjustments which generating the W2
