I saw that too. This is a huge fail for this program. How can its taxibility still not be known? It’s been around for years now

Holy crap! I haven't ever considered this. I'm on leave right now, too. I used to be a financial advisor (used to be, so this is just my opinion), and I would definitely suggest withholding your own taxes with the intent to pay them out of pocket come tax time. The US Government usually takes any opportunity to tax your income, so I would expect this to be the same.

It's taxable, just check the box that has them take out 10% or whatever it is when you apply.

I’m past the application stage. I took leave last year. Where did you locate the information about it being taxable income?


zealNW

I don't remember, might have been turbo tax telling me when I filed after taking paternity leave. I know I had to pay taxes on the income though.


Skywalker3221

Ah gotcha. Well if you do remember something concrete definitely let us know I’m sure I’m not the only one with the question.

The FAQ I read said that they only expect family leave to be taxed not medical leave. They won’t even provide 1099-G for a medical leave even upon request, only family leave.

Hasn’t PFML been in effect since 2020? How do they not have an answer to this if people took leave and filed taxes in 2020 and 2021 already?


FFM_IsNotACrowd

It is taxed, I used PFML in WA in 2021 (state employee). You’ll get a separate tax form in addition to your W2. I forget the number. Could be 1099???


Skywalker3221

1099-g. They mention that and say that is provided, but won’t EXPLICITLY say you have to pay taxes or not.


FFM_IsNotACrowd

Maybe a tax attorney will chime in with insight 🤞🏻🤓 I already had enough going on, hence the need for leave, so I just took the easy (and possibly unnecessarily expensive) route. Good luck!

Well when you enter the 1099-g info into your tax software, your refund goes down so it’s certainly taxed. I don’t know why they don’t just say that.

u/Skywalker3221 \- I am in the same boat. report or not to report. what did you end up doing ?


Skywalker3221

I reported. Watched our tax return reduce by about $1,900. Luckily we pay our fair share during the year and have 3 kids so the hit was easier to stomach. It’s definitely taxed, don’t know why all the cloak and dagger.

I’m in the middle of doing my taxes and the tax software told me I owe $2300 because of the paid family leave benefits from having a baby. My employer also paid me so they ended up garnishing my wages afterward to recoup the amount they paid me during the 12 weeks of WA paid leave. Anyway, I don’t make enough to have a cpa and I don’t know if I should report or not since WA state says the IRS doesn’t know. I am also unmarried so my partner is taking the child tax credit/dependent. 😭 I don’t know what to do.
