Received a 1099G for PFML in Massachusetts box one is blank, but box 4 and 11 have a amount. TurboTax will not let me leave box one blank. What do I put in box 1?

thank you

Is there an amount in Box 2? Is the issuer of the form the state of Massachusetts?

You should get a 1099-G if the state of MA paid your benefits. In this case, the amount the state paid should be in box 1 and you will need to get a corrected form by contacting the state of MA if the amount was erroneously omitted. Paid Family Leave

It is for Massachusetts, and there is nothing in box two. I have attached a picture

The State of Massachusetts sent that form to you because you had state and federal tax withheld.

I suggest you not try to enter the 1099-G since TurboTax won't like Box 1 being blank HOWEVER enter the tax withheld. Leave that form 1099-G off the return and enter the tax as follows:

DEDUCTIONS & CREDITS
ESTIMATES AND OTHER TAXES PAID
OTHER INCOME TAXES
START

Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099
START
Enter 280.69 under FEDERAL WITHHOLDING
Enter 140.29 under STATE WITHHOLDING and select Massachusetts from the state drop-down list

The IRS will have gotten a copy of the 1099-G and they will match that withholding to that 1099-G.

Keep a copy with your tax file.
