Taxpayer rec'd Paid Family leave and was required to pay it to his employer in order to buy back his sick time and vacation time from employer. Where does this get reported. The full amount was included in his W-2 from his employer.

ProSeries Basic

To clarify, the full amount or w2 reflected included sick and vacation leave paid in box 1? And the employee received a 1099g?

was any of the income on w2 shown as sick pay?

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

Yes on the 1099-G

Yes on the Box 1

No on showing as sick pay

PFL benefits are paid by the state so the 1099g is appropriate. (Assuming that benefit repayment to the employer is legal in that state) the employer should have reduced the employees earnings accordingly.

I think I would start by going to the employer, and explaining the double taxation …..best case would be as corrected w2…

there used to be a worksheet and form for correct in W-2s in Pro Series, but I haven’t used it in years and have always been reticent to change the information reflected on the W-2 on the 1040. It will most likely result in a CP letter.

does the employer have an hr dept? One can only hope
