Employer Deducted Taxes to wrong State

[aileen02]

My husband's employer deducted California state taxes in his W2 for half a year, but he worked in WA with no state income tax. Company refused to change the W2 since taxes were already deducted from his paycheck and paid to California. How do we get that money back? We filed a 540 NR, 4852, and Schedule X based on different opinions, but have not received our income tax that was incorrectly deducted to California. Wages garnished were in 2022.

The 540NR has notified California of their obligation to return the money.  After that you will have to contact the California FTB.

Here is the California FTB contact information.
