MA PFML Tax

[MWBT]

Is the MA PFML tax withheld a schedule A deduction?

I filed a return in early March that included the tax withheld as a deduction, but my client just got a notice from the IRS that DID NOT include it.  Also, when I opened the return to check my input data, I NOW get the same result as the IRS.  i.e. NO DEDUCTION

Was it on the W2? Which box? I know I saw that early in the season it was automatically coding something in Box 14 as a local tax and sending it to Sch A when it shouldnt have...I cant remember what it was though....Im not in MA, so I know it wasnt that, but it wouldnt surprise me if that was going to the wrong place as well.
