Massachusetts PFML 1099-G - How to Declare

[fangandao]

I received a 1099-G from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for PFML benefits that I received, however when I try to enter this income on TurboTax it only lets me choose if the income was: a Taxable Grant (it wasn't), Agricultural Payments Program (again, no), Market Gains on CCC Loan (nope), RTAA payment (still no) or Business and Farm Tax refund (yet again...no).

The 1099-G specifically has a Box 1 which has the value of taxable income, but there's no where for me to enter that, the next page only has Boxes 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9. :(

Why no Box 1? After I finish the page it says that the total valule is $0, which is false.

Ok...it righted itself.

Even though there's an article on this site saying that PFML and Unemployment are different...it classed it as unemployment benefits, I guess. It lead me through the declaration process and specified that it was for a 1099-G which was either PFML or Unemployment Benefits.

To enter the 1099-G for Massachusetts Paid Family Leave, you must look for Unemployment and paid family leave under Unemployment from the Wages and Income menu.
