@Mot2 can you explain more? are you self-employed and have COVID related sick days? if W-2 employee, why do you think that sick leave will affect your taxes? just need more detail on what your concern is.

Yes I’m self employed and I have COVID related sick days. It ask how many days were you sick or gone I put 30, then I listed the exact dates and only put around 25 would that be an error after it’s submitted and accepted

@Mot2 - it may not matter - depends on the benefit you were seeking as this COVID benefit was rather complicated.

there were two benefits, but one was only a 10 days benefit, so the fact that you stated you were sick for 25 or even 30 days wouldn't change the result. The benefit would have been calculated on 10 days in any event; nothing further to do and no need to correct.

Was this the sick leave credit (10 days) or the family leave credit (60 days)
