Is PFMLA taxable income in NY? If so where do I input this information?

[DawnC]

Yes, it is taxable.  If your employer participates in New York State’s Paid Family Leave program, you need to know the following:

• Any benefits you receive under this program are taxable and included in your federal gross income.
• Your employer will not automatically withhold taxes from these benefits; you may request voluntary tax withholding.
• You will receive either Form 1099-G or Form 1099-MISC from your employer showing your taxable benefits. - See the link below for instructions for entering the document...
• Your employer will deduct premiums for the Paid Family Leave program from your after-tax wages.
• Your premium contributions will be reported to you by your employer on Form W-2 in Box 14 as state disability insurance taxes withheld.
