Where do I enter WA Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) contributions in TurboTax 2025 if Washington has no state income tax?

[jebalim]

I’m filing my 2025 federal return in TurboTax and I’m trying to enter my Washington Paid Family & Medical Leave (WA PFML) employee contributions (these are not shown in Box 14 of my W-2, I got them from my Dec Pay stub).

Washington does not have a state income tax, so TurboTax does not show a standard “state income tax withheld” section for WA.

I understand PFML contributions may be deductible as state and local taxes if I itemize (subject to the $40,000 SALT cap), but I cannot find where to enter this amount in TurboTax 2025.

I’ve checked:

•Federal → Deductions & Credits

•Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

•State Income Taxes ( doesn't show WA since no state income tax)

But I don’t see a field that allows entry of WA PFML contributions.

Where exactly should WA PFML (Box 14) be entered in TurboTax 2025 so that it flows correctly to Schedule A?

I am itemizing deductions.

thank you 

Thank you.

Follow these steps:

1. Open to federal income
2. Edit your w2
3. Locate box 14
4. Enter description WA PFML
5. Enter amount
6. Select Other deductible state and local taxes from the dropdown

This will add it to your itemized deductions as part of the new $40,000 SALT deduction. Great job researching and asking!
