I have a 1099-misc for NY Paid Family Leave benefit instead of 1099-G. Turbo Tax is considering this self-employment income instead. How do I get this correct?

NYPFL requires that providers give employees a 1099-misc instead of a 1099-g for paid family leave (only exception being NYSIF).  Turbo Tax software does not seem to be able to recognize this correctly and will result in taxing the benefit check as self-employment income instead of paid family leave.  Can this get corrected or is there another way to enter this info that I haven't found yet?

Reporting 1099-MISC (box 3 or box 7) that is not self-employment income

Under the Wages & Income tab (or Personal Income tab) scroll down to Other Common Income and elect to start/update Income from form 1099-MISC. Then click YES to indicate you have a 1099-MISC.

Enter the 1099-MISC exactly as printed, and then Continue.

Enter the reason you got this money – be it scholarship, bonus, streaking butt naked across the 50 yard line of the super bowl, whatever. Then continue.

Select None of these apply, then Continue.

Select No, it didn’t involve work….. and Continue.

Select ONLY the tax year for which this specific 1099-MISC was issued. Do not select the year that you received the 1099. Select the year for which the 1099-MISC was issued. Select no other year. Then Continue.

Select No, it didn’t involve an intent to earn money, then Continue.

Select NO, then Continue.

Click the DONE button, and that does it.

Thanks!  I had entered it but had answered the work involved question incorrectly.  Completely changed how it is reporting now.
