What is paid family leave (PFL)?

by TurboTax46 Updated 1 month ago

Paid family leave (PFL) is money you receive when you’re away from work for an extended period to take care of a seriously ill family member or bond with your newborn or newly adopted child. It can come from your employer, an insurer, or the government.

PFL is taxed differently than other paid time off like sick pay or paid medical leave.

It's also different from Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) time off, which is unpaid and has no effect on your taxes.

Follow these steps to enter your PFL income in TurboTax.
