Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave quarterly tax report

The Quarterly Washington Family & Leave Tax Report lets you validate Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (WA FLI) data before quarterly returns are filed: who is covered, employee and employer premium amounts, and the wages and hours reported.

What the report is for

Use the Quarterly Washington Family & Leave Tax Report to review and validate tax information if you have employees who work in Washington state, and for whom the Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (WA FLI) tax returns must be filed on a quarterly basis. Use the report to verify data such as:

  • Which employees are entitled to the WA FLI insurance.
  • What the WA FLI insurance costs are for the employer and for the employee.
  • What information about Gross Subject Wages and hours will be filed for the employee for taxation.

The report displays separate records about the employee and the employer with information about the due taxes for a person. The report has data for a person if at least one of these parties must pay a premium for the Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave tax.

Note: The Quarterly Washington Family & Leave Report displays information based on the check dates that fall within the calendar quarter.
