Whether and how much tax you will owe for tax year 2024 depends on your total taxable income and applicable tax rate. If your income is below the filing threshold for your filing status and you don't have another reason to file, you may not need to file.
California SDI benefits are taxable only if paid as a substitute for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. This could occur in the situation you described, where you were receiving UI benefits and then became disabled. When SDI benefits are received as a substitute for UI benefits, the SDI is taxable by the federal government but is not taxable by the State of California.
You will only get a Form 1099-G if all or part of your SDI benefits are taxable. If your SDI benefits are taxable and you don’t receive your Form 1099-G by mid-February, you may call EDD at (800) 795-0193 to get another copy.
