How do I get a refund of excess SDI?
The maximum SDI withholding tax for 2017 is $998.19 ($110,902 x .90%).
You may be entitled to claim a credit for excess SDI (or VPDI) only if you meet all of the following conditions:
- You had two or more employers during 2017.
- You received more than $110,902 in wages.
- The amounts of SDI (or VPDI) withheld appear on your Forms W-2.
You may claim the excess SDI or (VPDI), Form 540, or Long Form 540NR. You cannot claim the excess SDI (or VPDI) on Form 540 2EZ or Short Form 540NR. If you normally file Form 540 2EZ and are eligible to claim excess SDI (or VPDI) you should switch to Form 540 to claim the credit. Short Form 540NR filers must use Long Form 540NR to claim the credit.

If you ONLY had one employer then you must just enter the max 998 in the program and get the excess withheld from the employer.
