You are confusing Family Leave and Unemployment. Two completely different things.

You need to know which the taxpayer got. And they could have gotten both, of course.

I believe the answer is YES. See the third question at https://edd.ca.gov/Unemployment/FAQ_for_1099G.htm

Paid Family Leave (PFL) benefits are considered a type of unemployment compensation and are taxable. Your PFL benefits are taxable and reportable on your federal return only.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

That's pretty good mind-reading. 🙂

Family and Sick Leave are employer or third-party coverage, reported on W2 (if you have an employer). The EDD is State, reported on 1099-G.

I don't see where it was described what he/she is looking at.
