CT Paid Family Leave W2 Box 14 Category

[taxabc]

Which category should the 0.5% contribution to CT Paid Family Leave fall under? It is listed in Box 14 - Description as the W2 as "CTPL".

While other states such as MA or NJ have a direct listing in the TurboTax "Box 14 - Category", there does not appear to be one for CT.  Would it fall under "Other deductible state or local tax" or "Other (not classified)" or is there an intention for TurboTax to build a direct classification?

It seems perhaps from https://ctpaidleave.org/s/article/Are-deductions-from-employees-paid-to-the-CT-[product key removed]... that they would be deductible? 

[DMarkM1]

The correct box 14 category is "Other deductible state or local tax."  The .5% withholding/contribution to CT family leave program is not deductible on the CT state return.  However if you itemize deductions on your federal return, you can deduct the contribution as part of state income taxes paid. 

Entering the "Other deductible...tax" category will carry the amount to the state/local tax line of your Schedule A to be used if you itemize.

Here is CT FAQ for reference.  See the "Wages" dropdown for the employee tax deduction information and the "Tax" dropdown for how it is to show on you W2.
