The following information is New York (NY) state specific for paid family leave. The first key component is whether your employer participates in the NY Paid Family Leave.  Review the information below and if necessary, check with your employer.

If your employer participates in New York State’s Paid Family Leave program, you need to know the following:

• Any benefits you receive under this program are taxable and included in your federal gross income.
• Your employer will not automatically withhold taxes from these benefits; you may request voluntary tax withholding.
• You will receive either Form 1099-G or Form 1099-MISC from your employer showing your taxable benefits.
• Your employer will deduct premiums for the Paid Family Leave program from your after-tax wages.
• Your premium contributions will be reported to you by your employer on Form W-2 in Box 14 as state disability insurance taxes withheld

This is not self employment income and should be reported by using the steps below. Once completed this will move the income to the Schedule 1, then the 1040.  You may need to delete the Schedule C if you happen to use the wrong steps in your original entry.
