Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Correct, the second w2 is not needed in your case.

 

Generally, VPDI and/or SDI benefits are not taxable by the state of California or the IRS. The one case in which they may be taxed is when employees receive SDI benefits in place of unemployment compensation and for a person who is not eligible for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits only because of the disability.


Since neither of these apply to you, box 14 is just informational along with box 15 on that extra w2.
