NY FPL DEDUCTION ON SCREEN 10 TO CARRY ON SCHEDULE A

I am assuming you are referring to paid family leave -  if so code it as NYPFL  and it will flow to Sch A 

In Lacerte Software I do not see a data input screen for NYFPL 

we do have one for NJ State but not for NY 

Any thoughts on where to input it?? If we put in on "Other Deductions" it is NOT flowing to Schedule A 

Thanks!!

@Rocky99  You posted this under Pro Series Tax Idea Exchange.

Rocky  in ProSeries, if I post the amount under NYFPL in the worksheet for box 14 of the W-2, it does not carry over to schedule A, If I post the amount under NYPFL (New York Paid Family Leave) It does carry over to schedule A.  I don't have Lacerte, so not sure how you fill in box 14 from a W-2

Hi @Rocky99 Great to see you in the Community and thanks for posting about where to input NY FPL in Lacerte. If you know what line on the form the amount should go Lacerte Support would be able to help you get it there. They also would be able to remote in and take a look with you. 

Thanks Kathi 

I already tried that - NO luck - they only said to post in this community 

I also found out that the Pro Series has a Line item for the data input - (NY FPL)

I think the Lacerte Tax Programmers missed this one - I have been pointing this out for the last 2-3 years 

On the Screen 10 - for NJ they have FPL = they should have added NY-NJ FPL on that Line just as they have for State Disability Screen where BOTH NY-NJ data can be input 

I just did a Tax return and the NY FPL $ 355 is a Tax Deductible item due to the SALT limitation going to $ 40 K - Previously we did not care much when limit was $ 10 K

Thanks!!

It would be great if there would be some way we could talk or send a message to the programmers or that department where they can check our messages -

Hi @Rocky99 We gave this to Development and after they reviewed the input for Lacerte is box 14 State disability insurance withheld {NY only}, Screen 10 code 15. Might be what you have done in the past.

Thanks Kathi 

NY Disability has a $ 31.20 Maximum Employee Contribution - for 2025

This is NY FPL which has $ 355 Max - for 2025

Many employees have BOTH NY Disability and NY FPL - are the Programmers saying that BOTH should be entered under NY Disability Box?? 

Also on Screen 10 in Lacerte there is no Box 15 entry screen - it goes from Box 14 to 16 

Something is off here - Can you please help clarify?

Hi @Rocky99 Thanks so much for asking. Yes, as of now, under the same box and box 15 is under the Electronic Filing (w-2 State/Local) section where you will see (15) ST and (15) Employer's State ID Number in screen 10.
