How is the amount of "PFL Income Received From Insurance Company" calculated?

This is showing up in my California return and is like 8x what I'm seeing in my 1099-G forms.

If you have a 1099-G then that is entered in the federal return like unemployment income and will be automatically excluded from your Calif income.

If you are seeing a screen in TT/Calif asking for an adjustment to your W-2 wages for "PFL" then you inadvertently indicated on an entry of a W-2 in the federal return that some or all of the W-2 wages were for paid family leave. You should go back and edit that W-2 and remove the checkbox for PFL. That will tell TT/Calif not to ask you to enter the amount of PFL income included in the W-2 because there is none.

I didn't indicate anywhere when filling out my W-2 that some or all the wages were for PFL. So I don't know why it's asking me the same. It populated the same amount of wages in box 1 from W-2 into this box.

If you didn't receive any PFL, and your W-2 does not include any PFL, then you may need to manually enter the W-2.

You will have to delete the W-2 that was imported. Here are instructions in how to do that:

Here's the general procedure for viewing the forms list and deleting unwanted forms, schedules, and worksheets in TurboTax Online:

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

To delete a form that came in the mail (for example, W-2, 1098, or 1099) it's best to do it from that form's summary screen. Search for the form number (for example, W-2) and select the Jump to link in the search results to get to the summary screen.
You can't delete Form 1040. That would be like yanking the foundation out from under a building. If you want to get rid of the information you've entered, you can clear your return.

Now you can go back to the Federal return and input the W-2 manually, making sure that the PFL isn't checked off on the screen that follows the W-2 entry screen. The proceed to the state return and make sure that it is gone.

Your best bet would be to contact your employer directly.
