The subtraction adjustment is made on the California (CA) return using Schedule CA-540. If you have completed your CA return and did not enter an adjustment you can make this adjustment by selecting 'Other Adjustments to Income' under Miscellaneous (because it was not part of your W-2 wages).
- Enter your description - Paid Family Leave > Enter your amount in the 'Subtraction' column
For the federal return you should enter as follows.
- TurboTax Online/Mobile > Search 1099misc > click See more > click the highlighted 1099-MISC
- TurboTax Desktop > Search > 1099-MISC > Click the Jump to.. link
- Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as printed, and then Continue
- Enter Paid Family Leave
- Select None of these apply, then Continue
- Select No, it didn’t involve work….. and Continue to 'How often did you get income for Paid Family Leave?'
- Select ONLY the tax year for which this specific 1099-MISC was issued.
- Do not select the year that you received the 1099. Select the year for which the 1099-MISC was issued. Select no other year.
- Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money, then Continue
- Select NO, then Continue
- Click the DONE button >
This will complete the entry and you can continue to work on your tax return.
