I have the same question. Both NYPSL-E and NYSDI-E show up in Box 14 on my W-2 but it isn't clear what category these map to in TurboTax. Are these mandatory deductible state or local taxes?

NYPFL-E is NY paid family leave. Choose other mandatory deductible state tax. NYSDI-E is state disability insurance. Choose wages for SDI. Don’t worry if the verbiage in your version of TurboTax is slightly different.

"NYSDI-E" why do you say it's "wages for SDI" category and not "NY nonoccupational disability fund tax" ? thanks!

Box 14 is informational only and does not need to be entered, usually.

The NYPFL is used for medical deductions, if you are itemizing. In that case, enter the information.
The NY SDI is not taxable.

If you want to add the NYPFL, use the "Other Mandatory Deductible State or Local Tax" choice.

It is included in your wages.

It is also a deductible state tax paid.

You earned that amount and it is included in Box 1 of your W-2. It is subject to Federal Income tax and FICA.

You paid the amount through your employer and it is a tax. You can claim the amount as tax paid on your Schedule A if you itemize.

Bsch4477, the OP asked how to handle "NYPSL-E", but your reply mentions "NYPFL-E" which wasn't the question. Are they the same, however? I too have "NYPSL-E". I presume this is "Paid Sick Leave", but I wonder what drop down to use it TurboTax for it since it's different from the two replies you gave for Paid Family Leave and State Disability? TIA!

It’s paid sick leave. Again, it is informational and does not affect your return. See details here:

Great, thanks for verifying my guess. But, TurboTax is asking me to indicate which specific drop down explanation I should be using for identification.

Anyone?

Enter "Other - not classified" or "Other – not on above list", the last choice on the drop-down list of available categories for Box 14.

You could also enter "Other mandatory deductible state or local tax not listed". Your entry here will not affect your ability to e-file or your tax calculation.

Employers can put just about anything in box 14; it's a catch-all for items that don't have their own dedicated box on the W-2.

If you don't see a category in the TurboTax list that matches your W-2 entry (NYPFL), don’t worry. We'll figure out if it impacts your return or not. If we need more information, we'll ask you.

re/'Box 14 is informational only and does not need to be entered, usually.". I see many times a statement to that affect is said.

But isn't it true that depending what specific category you use from the pulldown, your taxes (either for Fed or State) ARE affected? In other words, sometimes it indicates a deductible mandatory state tax that isn't taxable on your federal, but other categories might be?? (like the medical cited in the reply?)

Help me understand why people say this?

@AndrewQQ The NYPSL-E amount is Box 14 means that this amount of Sick Leave was included in your Box 1 Wages on your W-2.

It is not a tax or deduction. It's for your information.

If it was a tax you paid, it would be shown in Boxes 15-20.

Here's more info about Box 14.
