Yes, if you received Paid Family Leave check the box. To determine if you received PFL, check box 14 on your W-2. If an amount is entered there, then you received Paid Family Leave.

Enter your W-2 exactly as you received it in TurboTax. You will be taxed at the Federal level, and not taxed at the State level for these benefits.

If you received PFL, you should have also received a 1099-G for the same amount? Enter that in the Unemployment section--which simply means the IRS did not require your employer to withhold any taxes but you are still subject to taxes now.

I received "paid parental leave" during the year, which appears to be included in my W2 Box 1 wages. There is no entry for it in box 14. I'm not aware of there having been any 1099 issued. Should I be drilling down further here or is this a fairly common situation? Should I opt NOT to check the box for paid family leave?
