Third Party Sick Pay

Spanky
Level 3

FYI: I hardly ever have any clients with third party sick pay.  I did today.  After spending time going in circles trying to figure why it is still being carried to New Jersey Wages, and how to eliminate it from wages, I called tech support.  I spent valuable time speaking with several representatives regarding Third Party Sick Pay and that when I check off the box on the W-2 down in Part VII, L(l), it still carries to reportable wages in NJ.  One person wanted me to sanitize the return and send it in.  I said no thank you.  Finally speaking with the third rep, I had a thought, put a zero in Box 16, state wages.  Bingo!  The amount did not carryover to NJ.  Such a simple thing to do, sad the tech's didn't know it!!  It's just a matter of knowing to put the zero's in.  Happy Tax Season!!!
