Hi Catina,
Thank you for the detailed answer. I received a w2 for this situation in CA.
1. However, after I filled in the w2 info as you indicated in my TurboTax Desktop Software, I ran into some problems. I tried to fill in Earned Income Credit section as you said, but the system says "It turns out you don't qualify for this credit".
2. I tried to fill in box 1 with the same number in Box 3 mentioned here as well. I still got the same response in Earned Income Credit section.
What should I do?
Should I just delete the number from Box 12A? It seems like Turbo thinks the wages in 12A is taxable.
