FMLA Income on CA state return

Hello,

 

I received FMLA benefits in CA during 2023. This benefits are included in my W-2 and I understand I need to pay federal tax on this. Since they are not taxable in CA the amount is deducted and correct amount in present on box16 of W-2.

While I am filing state tax via turbotax, line 12 of form 540 is showing the box 16 amount, but line 13 is taken from federal tax return which include the FMLA benefits.

Is this correct? I think FMLA are not state taxable.
