The amount paid as maternity and bonding pay is considered Paid Family Leave, so you would see an increase in your California refund amount when you indicate that you received PFL. The amounts are fully taxable on your federal return but not your California return. When you go through the state return, make sure that the adjustment is only for the amounts for maternity and bonding pay and not the full amount of your W-2. The amount in Box 14 should be equal to PFL amounts and that is the amount that should be adjusted on your CA return. You can also look at your CA tax return to verify the amount of the adjustment to taxable pay.
