If it was from an employer wouldnt it be on a W2? 

If it was from the state, it should be on a 1099g like unemployment.

What type of document do you have reporting the PFL?

Are you referring to the credit for the Self Employed, on Form 7202?

It is on form W2. My confusion is that I have a client that is getting an itemized deduction, and I do not know where Lacerate wants me to add PFL for it to be counted on the state tax deduction

PFL in box 14 is not a tax at all.  It's the amount of COVID wages paid.  Unless your client is also self-employed it has no bearing on the return.  If your client is self-employed it will go on Form 7202 line 15 or line 16 and affect the calculation for the self-employed amount of the credit.

Edit: Phoebe had a better crystal ball than I did. 🙂

Yep, it's a California employer. Sorry for the confusion. I sometimes forget how important these small details have to the overall question when it comes to tax.
