So we have two W2s uploaded in Turbotax Premier. We were both part-year CA tax resident. In the State tax return section, it asks of all the xxx income, how much is CA state wage.
1. Why does it ask this question? Shouldn't this number just be the w2 CA state wage numbers added together?
2. Now our W2s have mistakes when calculating CA state wage (w2 box 16). Do we input our actual CA state wage in the State tax return section? We are not concerned about CA state withholding here, just the CA state wage because the wage determines the actual CA income tax.
