Unemployment compensation and paid family leave are entered in the same place.

 

Here's where to report your 1099-G for unemployment or paid family leave:

If you're using the TurboTax mobile app, follow these instructions.

:

  1. Open or continue your tax return.

  2. Search for 1099-G and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
  3. On the "Did you receive unemployment or paid family leave benefits in 2020?" screen, answer Yes.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your 1099-G information.

My employer paid me emergency sickleave and emergency family leave pursuant to the coronavirus cares act. I did not receive a 1099 because my leave time was included in my paycheck where in taxes where deducted. Do I have to enter this information somewhere else if it wasn’t included on line  14 of my w-2?

The entries on line 14 of your W-2 are mostly just for information purposes only. They don't normally affect your taxable income or deductions. So, no you don't need to enter anything else on your tax return in addition to your W-2 entry here.
