State tax filing

It depends.

 

Did your employer report it in Box 16 of your W-2 form?  Box 16 is used to report the amount of state wages. 

 

If so, then the amount paid by your employer is considered taxable within California as taxable fringe benefits.  

 

When you enter in the amounts as reported on your W-2 Forms, you will be reporting everything that is considered taxable within California.

Also as a side note, do not use your latest paystub to enter your earnings into TurboTax.  Instead, be sure to use your W-2 form as issued by your employer.  These amounts are reported to the taxing agencies and are used to reconcile the amounts you report on your income tax return.  If these amounts do not match, your return may take longer to process as the taxing agencies will need to ensure everything is reported accurately on your income tax return.
