My W2 box 16 includes HSA contribution ( box 1 + box 12 Code W).
I am a part-year California resident so I need to submit CA 540 NR form
I get the wanring of Check This Entry Other income must be entered error when I fill the CA state fax
Below is an example:
In my CA W2:
Box 1: 10000
Box 12 code W(HSA): 2000
Box 16: 12000
540 NR
Part II ' Income Adjustment Schedule
Section A ' Income from Form 1040 or 1040-SR
Col: C: Additions
D:TotalCaliforniaAmounts using CA rules as if you are the resident
E: CaliforniaAmounts
line 1 a Total amount from federal Form(s) W-2, box in Col E: 12000
line 1 h Other earned income: both Col C and Col D are 2000 but Col E is empty so I get this warning message: Other income must be entered
line 1 z Add line 1a through line: The amount in Col E is the same as line 1 a Col E. 12000
Question1: Why did Turbotax fill line 1 a Col E with Box 16 12000 instead of Box1: 10000 in my w2?
Question2: line 1 z Col E amount is the same as line 1a Col E, which means I can not add any other income in line 1h Col E?
Because If I add 2000 in line 1h Col E, Line1 z Col E (add line 1a through line) should be 12000 + 2000 = 14000. However 1 z Col E is 12000 so I think this it is incorrect?
Can I know how to resolve this issue.
Thank you for your time.
