Where to input MAFML to be deducted on sch A - line 5A

Has anyone found the right place in ProSeries to enter employee-paid MA PFML so it actually flows to Schedule A, line 5a? When I enter it on the W-2 in Box 14 it stays informational and doesn’t carry over. I want to make sure it’s being picked up as part of state income taxes paid for SALT purposes (40k cap). Curious how others are handling this in ProSeries.

If youre sure its suppose to go to Sch A, then use this description.  Im not familiar with MA, so I have no idea if its correct or not.  Yu may want to dig in and research some more, just to be sure.

If you choose this in Box 14, does it flow?  Ok, I just checked and no it doesnt...are you sure it should?
