Need help in understanding FLMA California tax

Hello,

 

My FMLA benefits are included in W-2 box1, but they are deducted and different amount appears on box 16 of W-2 as they are not part of state tax.

While filing CA state form 540, line 12 is showing the amount of W-2 box 16, but line 13 is taken from the federal return. The whole CA tax is then calculated using line 13.

Is this correct? If line 13 is used then I will end up paying state tax on FMLA benefits.
