Where do I input NY Paid Family Leave tax (box 14 on W2) so that it flows to local taxes?

Box 14 is Informational. Do you have a tax or a Leave amount? The IRS requires that the employer report (show to the employee) any leave Paid, that also is already in Box 1, because if the employee also is self-employed, they have to use this amount in consideration of any total they intended to report on their Sched C.

Whose return and which form are you working on? Do they also have a Sched C? Were they trying to take paid leave or sick leave on the Sched C?

Oh, I found this for you:

"Box 14—Inc. tax w/h by third-party sick pay payer.
Although this tax is included in the box 2
amounts, it must be shown separately here."

No leave was taken. State Disability Insurance, also in Box 14 of W2, flows to local taxes, so I presume there is a way for PFL to flow as well.

PFL, etc, it's all informational. Something that would be reported is also in another box, usually:

"Box 14—Other. If you included 100% of a vehicle's
annual lease value in the employee's income, it must also
be reported here or on a separate statement to your
employee.
You may also use this box for any other information that
you want to give to your employee. Label each item.
Examples include state disability insurance taxes
withheld, union dues, uniform payments, health insurance
premiums deducted, nontaxable income, educational
assistance payments, or a minister's parsonage
allowance and utilities. In addition, you may enter the
following contributions to a pension plan: (a) nonelective
employer contributions made on behalf of an employee,
(b) voluntary after-tax contributions (but not designated
Roth contributions) that are deducted from an employee's
pay, (c) required employee contributions, and (d)
employer matching contributions"
