MAY NYPSL-E AND NYPFL DEDUCTION BE REPORTED. ON SAME LINE?

In the context of New York State tax forms, NYPSL-E refers to New York Paid Sick Leave - Employer portion, and NYPFL refers to New York Paid Family Leave. These are different types of payroll deductions and are typically reported separately. For employers, these contributions would be reported in their payroll tax filings and documentation. The New York Paid Family Leave is often reported on Form NYS-45, which is the Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting, and Unemployment Insurance Return. Employers must report their contributions to the Paid Family Leave program on this form. For employees, the deductions for Paid Family Leave may appear on their pay stubs, and the amount of employee contributions for the year is often reported on their Form W-2 in Box 14, or a similar section for state-specific deductions. Since these are distinct programs with different reporting requirements, they should not be reported on the same line in official tax documents or payroll filings. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance or the New York State Workers' Compensation Board for accurate reporting. If you are an employee trying to understand your pay stub or W-2, or an employer preparing tax documents, make sure to keep these deductions separate and report them as instructed by the relevant state authorities. If you have any confusion, it's best to consult with a tax professional or the appropriate government agency for guidance.
