State tax filing

Thanks @BillM223 

 

I think this is clear, basically no deduction if you don't receive a separate W-2 from the insurer or have EDD.

 

Just one more check in hopes of paying less taxes...

 

1) If my W-2 from my employer has an amount marked  (VPDI) in Box 14, can i type that into the "PFL" box that decreases my CA tax (increases refund) even if i don't have a W-2 from the insurer?

 

2) The amount marked "PFL" in box 14 of my employer W-2 is the exact difference between box 1 and box 16, so does that mean that the california portion of my taxes is calculated from the box 16 number, meaning that PFL amount has already automatically been deducted from the federal  income tax basis to create the CA state income tax basis, does this sound right?
