Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In W2 from employer Wages in Box 1 include PFL (paternity family leave) amount but are not included in Box 16 California state taxable wages.

Amount on W-2 box 16 have no affect on CA tax amount!

According to CA form 540 State wages calculated based on Box 1 minus adjustments.

Should I enter PFL amount calculated as amount in Box 1 minus amount in Box 16 in the TurboTax Form "Paid Family leave (PFL) income in California" to get PFL adjustments?

If I enter 0 there is NO adjustment
