My employer paid for maternity leave (PFL), and they reported all the wages on W-2, so I did not receive a 1099-G. Do I have to pay CA state taxes on PFL?

No you do not pay state tax on your Paid Family Leave for your California state taxes. In TurboTax, after you enter the W2 information, you will see a question "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W2?" If you indicate Paid Family Leave, it will be excluded from the state income.

Something to consider: PFL paid by the employer is not excludable - it must be paid from the Calif SDI program or the employer's voluntary plan (VPDI) to be excluded from Calif income. So be sure the W-2 Box 1 amount of PFL came from VPDI.
