California excess SDI not calculated properly (online turbotax 2022 bug)
My wife worked for two companies in 2022 and had excess SDI withheld ($718 (company 1) + $1103 (company 2)= $1821 total). The maximum SDI limit for 2022 is $1601.60 = 1.1% of $145,600. That's $219 excess SDI withheld. However, the online turbotax completely ignores this and does not include it in the return (line 74 in CA540). The reason, I believe, is that the inclusion of excess SDI is likely triggered by sum of her two W2 box 1 values (tips, wages, other). This number, in her case, comes out to be $145,130, which is less that $145,600. However, SDI withheld throughout the year is not based on this number, so this should not be the threshold for calculation of the excess SDI. Because of this bug, my current CA is wrong. I've spend over 4hrs on the phone with different folks at TurboTax. Either they don't understand the problem or they don't know how to fix it. Please help.
