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!

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???
