Thanks all for the responses. I am afraid that I am still a bit confused.
1. Turbotax was asking for "PFL income received from insurance company".
My question:
a. Could anyone let me know how can I figure out if any of my PFL income came from an insurance company? Where on W2 or 1099G and which box shall I be looking at to know if any of my PFL income came from an insurance company?
b. My impression is that all my PFL income came from California Employment Development Department (EDD), and was supported by the California short term disability insurance that was paid and deducted from my paycheck. Is EDD considered an insurance company?
2. How can I found out what number shall be filled into this box?
Earlier response says:
If you got a W-2 from an insurance company for PFL, then you do subtract it from California wages. If, however, your employer just paid regular wages in your W-2, then you don't subtract it from California wages and you should remove it from the amount in the California PFL screen.
My questions:
It appears to me that if I have received PFL income from an insurance company, the insurance company should issue a W-2 to me. Since I have not received any W-2 from any insurance company yet, does that mean that I did not receive any PFL income from any insurance company? In that case, shall I enter "0" as "PFL income received from insurance company"?
3. It says that
"If your PFL is reported on a W-2, you must enter the amount (if any) that was paid by an insurance company, and not your employer.
If none of the amount was paid by an insurance company, and all of it was paid by your employer, you must enter $0 in the wages box because any amount reported by your employer in box 16 of a W-2 is considered compensation for services or taxable fringe benefits in California."
from the referenced Turbotax webpage below (https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/worker-benefits/need-know-paid-family-le...)
My questions:
a. Again, it is my impression is that all my PFL income came from California EDD, not from my employer. The information from the Turbotax webpage suggests that the PFL income either came from an insurance company, or my employer. Is PFL income from California EDD considered income from my employer, or the PFL income indeed come from California EDD but was later paid (distributed) through my employer?
Thanks a lot!
