Retirement tax questions

What tax adjustment for SS between federal and state are you asking about?   If you have a W-2 then you simply enter your W-2 exactly as it appears.  You do not adjust anything that is on your W-2.   If you are receiving Social Security benefits, CA does not tax Social Security; so all you do is enter your SSA1099 as it appears and it will only be shown on your federal return.
